Mikko Salminen is a set designer based in Finland, working across the performing arts, film and contemporary art.

Interested in how we inhabit, perceive and relate to our surroundings, Salminen creates worlds and performative environments that spark imagination and invite interaction. Through ecoscenographic processes, material experimentation and artistic collaboration, his practice explores ways of imagining and creating shared, more sustainable spaces.

Moving between intuition and precision, research and making, Salminen approaches scenography as an evolving process of discovery. His experience as a performer, writer, director and set designer informs a multidisciplinary practice that brings diverse perspectives together, using space as a medium to question the present and dream of tomorrow.
