Islands
Photography / 2014 – 2016 / pigment prints on fotosec / edition of 5 / 70 x 86 cm
The series is an exploration in the Sea of Lights, where evolution is affected by myths, memories and nostalgia. Nostalgia uses shipwrecked thoughts and loose figments of reality to create places that are simultaneously hopeful and dangerous, strange and familiar.
The island have their own roles and tasks in the sea of memory - they are those parts of the human mind, where lost things get a childlike glow, but the terrain turns out to be treacherous and shallow.
Exhibitions
Works from the series have been exhibited in solo exhibitions in Poriginal Galleria, Pori in 2016, Gallery Bronda’s Kellarigalleria, Helsinki in 2017, and in several group exhibitions such as New Narrative and Reader at Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre, UK in 2015, Salo Art Museum in 2015 and Organ Vida Photo Festival, Zagreb in 2018.
Making of
Islands were created by assembling pieces of photographs and various objects into miniature views, which were then photographed with a film camera.
