About

                               

 

June is a freelancer lighting designer based in Helsinki, Finland. She has worked internationally with performing arts in various productions from live music events to contemporary dance. 
She has a long history with drama theatre, but recently she has been infatuated with the possibilities of non-verbal storytelling and kinetic empathy.

“

My three favourite things are rooftops, abandoned places and illusions.
A rooftop can make one see clearly or feel isolated. 
Abandoned places in the external world contain stories that one can put together like puzzles, whilst their internal counterparts hide something strong and hurtful and potent.
Illusions can be very complicated social structures – and the studying of such is always a journey into a culture. Illusions in performing arts can evoke a stronger sense of realisation than an intellectual approach ever could.
​
I find in all of these great inspiration. To express these ideas I often utilise natural light & reflection, graphic shadows and/or heavy contrasts of colour, but I am keen to explore new mediums too (pyrotechnical products being the latest).
As an artist I strive to compose moments that will evoke questions, incite dialogue and affect beyond momentary emotion.
