Leandro Erlich
What if a cloud stopped moving? What if an elevator led nowhere?
Amos Rex features the works of artist Leandro Erlich (born 1973 in Buenos Aires, Argentina), whose immersive art, often carried out at huge scale, blurs our perceptions of reality. In Erlich’s playful world, you can climb the façade of a typical Helsinki building, take a seat as a pupil in a ghostly classroom, or investigate a strange elevator lobby to nowhere. Here, the laws of physics do not apply, and those who enter can no longer trust what they see.
Yinka Ilori: Transparent Happiness
A playable artwork open 24/7 at Amos Rex's domes on Lasipalatsi Square
For our summer 2025 project in the courtyard, Amos Rex invited designer and artist Yinka Ilori MBE to transform the Lasipalatsi Square into a site for interaction, play, and togetherness. Transparent Happiness, Yinka’s playable landscape, is a winding trail for sitting, walking, running, or skateboarding, along with a ping pong table, and a basketball court.
