	Oliver Whitehead. living in Helsinki, Finland I work with the moving image and not so much as media artist or a filmmaker. I comment on the world around us. At times these comments are critical, like my socially engaged, documentarist films/videos, dealing with issues of power, manipulation and behaviour, at times they are more subtle and subjective. I work in various media; film and video, drawing, photography, installations and digital media. My multidisciplinary approach, often combines media and techniques to create works as mixed-media installations.
