BIOGRAPHIE

Juhani Koivumäki (b. 1981 in Hämeenlinna, lives and works in Helsinki) received his MFA degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki in 2008, a Masters of Theology from the University of Helsinki in 2021, and a Masters of Buddhist Studies from the University of Hong Kong in 2022. With his colleagues, in 2016 Koivumäki founded the successful collective Film Co-op Paraika. Koivumäki’s cinematic and media art-based works have been presented in various galleries and film festivals both in Finland and around the world. His motivation for making films, videos, photographs, and installations has been to expand an individual’s awareness of matters such as physical and emotional satisfaction or religious and political enlightenment. Koivumäki is interested in using cinema and media art as a tool of raising collective consciousness by manipulating ideas and feelings. He sees film and media art generally as a way to potentially reflect ideas between the minds of collective and individual human beings.
