ANNA OFELIA JOHANSSON

Artist Statement / About

Anna Ofelia Johansson (b. 2003, Finland) grew up on the Åland Islands in the Finnish archipelago and is presently undertaking a BFA at Konstfack. She has also studied at Weißensee Academy of Art in Berlin. Her work draws from marine and club environments, particularly their sonic aspects, as well as the shared logics and narratives embedded within them. This exploration has led to the development of Mermaids, a performance persona and DJ alias that manifests through human–fish hybrid forms, both digitally and IRL.
