iida - ssi+
“To encounter the work of Finnish/Swedish artists Ida Jonsson and Simon Jansson Saarinen, who are from the autonomous Åland Islands and go by the collaborative moniker iida-ssi, is to be engulfed. …Their practice can be seen from a bird’s eye view as a network of catacombs: each piece tunneling and opening onto the next, spatially disorienting and reorienting the viewer as they move from scenario to scenario.”
