Pori Art Museum present the works by the renown Dutch artist Aernout Mik.

Aernout Mik's large scale video installations are studies on the dynamics of social situations, behavioral patterns and different layers of reality. Aernout Mik's video installations consist of constructed viewing spaces, which transform the outlines and relations of the existing exhibition space. Architectural structures play an important role in Mik's works, making them sculptural and physical elements. The situations of everyday life, suddenly reaching absurd proportions through unexpected events and people's irrational behavior, form the basis of action for his videos.

By deconstructing and removing narrative elements Mik turns the attention from the fictional space of the film to the viewer and his/hers physical and psychological situation.

The exhibition at the Pori Art Museum includes four of Mik's extensive video installations: Reversal Room (2001) and Middlemen (2001) with his most recent works Flock (2002) and Park (2002).
