Inari Sandell
Inari Sandell is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Helsinki. Their lens-based and sculptural practice often takes form as installations, combining photography and moving image with textile, metal and castings.

Sandell's work has been exhibited internationally in galleries, museums and festivals including Fundació Joan Miró: Espai 13, UKS Oslo, Hafnarborg Centre of Culture and Fine Art, the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York, Titanik, SIC, Photographic Centre Peri, Exhibition Laboratory Helsinki and Athens Photo Festival.
