HELENA ALEKSANDROVA
I am a Helsinki-based artist and cinephile who engages with film and moving images through the roles of director, editor, writer, performer, and art director, My work is deeply influenced by site-specificity, using existing spaces to shape my storytelling. My visually rich films explore subcultures, urban mythology, and genre cinema.
