Bonbon Baroque: Contemporary curiosities is the first book-form presentation of Anna Rikkinen's art. With her debut book Anna Rikkinen will take you to a journey, to a table decorated with peculiar things, trough seasons and rooms. Through her art, Anna Rikkinen reflects on the concept of beauty, body, memories and time. Her work is tinged with nostalgia and melancholy, tempered by gentle humour.
