Jussi Haro: Streethawk
Social commentary in a mischievous and satirical way
The focus is on the public spaces we all share; how their use is controlled and restricted by exclusionary urban planning and how we unknowingly accept it. Haro’s work makes visible and questions aspects of the use of public space that we ignore or take for granted.
Jussi Haro uses materials such as objects found on the streets, concrete, and car window glass. Haro’s work is guided by a long-term process of material collection. Through his collection, Haro aims to record public space as part of his own artistic work.
