Sasha Huber
Helsinki based Sasha Huber from Zurich and Petri Saarikko met in 2000 at Benetton’s communication research center FABRICA and have been working in design and then the arts in collaboration and individually ever since. Together they started to work on “Remedies”, an art and research project that explores family-based oral knowledge of traditional remedies, which forms part of family identities around the world. Their latest Remedies project was commissioned by the 1st Riga Biennial running until the end of October 2018. Sasha’s multidisciplinary visual arts practice is primarily concerned with the politics of memory, particularly in relation to colonial residue left in the environment. She uses and responds to history and archival material with video, photography, stapling, collaborations and performance. Petri combines documentary with his work as a designer and his background in new media to produce location-based installations. His work seeks to expose new relations, to make room for individual narratives, and takes a stand on behalf of equality.
