Jenny Hytönen

Envision a future where the boundaries between humans and machines blur, creating this hybrid existence of post humanism where there is no longer gender just individuals who are merged with technology.

Hytönen creates complex liquid metal like material and garments like shells to disguise the human inside, creating layers of mystery that holds the real machinery, the source of power that brings the garment alive, the human being. In her research Hytönen is continuing drawing inspiration from the cyborgs as well from the strong grotesque female imaginary from the vintage fetish magazines.

She also takes subtle notes from the romantic era: the era of creative expression, depth of feeling and spiritual connection.
The irrationality mixes interestingly by its idea of nature over in dustry and spiritualism over science thinking. In her work she seeks to blend the old world with the new, creating a visual narrative that speaks to the continuity of human creativity and expression across time
