Jonna Kina's video installation Secret Words and Related Stories is included in Poetics of Encryption at Galerie Rudolfinum in Prague, Czech Republic. The exhibition is on view from 13 February through 11 May 2025.
Curated by Nadim Samman and shown earlier in 2024 at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, the group exhibition explores the world permeated by modern technology and considers how technology shapes cultural time-space. In the latent technological space between exclusion, secrecy, questing, and speculation concerning technology’s insides unfolds an emergent poetic of encryption.
Jonna Kina's Secret Words and Related Stories is based on a collection of anonymously collected passwords and the stories behind them. The piece examines the theme of personal ‘secrets’ and the role of data security in contemporary society.
