Anna Reivila @ Purdy Hicks Gallery

This is Anna Reivilä’s first solo exhibition in the UK. The exhibition, Nomad features photographic works from her series Bond: a study of the landscape through the act of binding and associating natural elements.
According to Japanese religious ceremonies, ropes and ties symbolize the connections among people and the divine: a means to identify sacred space and time. Inspired by Nobuyoshi Araki’s images and their mixture of raw violence, beauty and the nature of bondage, Reivila’s photographs study the relationship between man and nature.
