In the exhibition, artist duo Nana & Felix explore the environments emerging from this logic—transparent, brightly lit, and nearly identical from Seoul to Helsinki—where nature and humanness alike are increasingly reframed as unreliable entities carrying potential risks.
The installation brings together four new works—two audiovisual pieces, a drawing series, and a collection of texts—transforming MUU Helsinki Contemporary Art Centre into a slowly shifting environment, where we travel slowly from one carefully planned space to another. Through a landscape where uniform fluorescent lights illuminate an apparently endless tunnel whose echoes lead towards a perfectly safe and controlled existence.
Trial Without Error explores how an uncontested strive for absolute safety, highlighted by the desperate try of surveilling even the remotest corners of our surroundings is reshaping our perception of, and behaviour towards, both the natural and human environment.
Nana & Felix (est. 2013) is a Korean-Finnish artist duo working in Seoul and Helsinki. Using a wide array of media, they produce different series of works predominantly through the reworking of urban remains and pre-existing cultural codes that come together in site specific, often architectural, installations.
Recently, their work has been the subject of solo exhibitions in Pyeongchon Art Hall (Anyang, 2024), Posco Art Museum (Seoul, 2022) where they were also awarded the emerging artist prize, and Daecheongho Museum of Art (Cheongju, 2021). In the past years their work has been featured in various group exhibitions including Jeonnam International Sumuk Biennale (Mokpo, 2025), Nam-Seoul Museum of Art (Seoul, 2024), 2024 Gangwon International Triennale (Pyeongchang, 2024), Jeonbuk Museum of Art (2023, 2024), and M_itä? Biennale of Contemporary Art at Joensuu Art Museum (Joensuu, 2023).
