Pigment print

Santeri Tuori has a very personal relationship in his approach to nature, much like the Impressionist painters of the 19th century. Although he uses the photographic process to create his images, his subjects have their roots in traditional landscape painting and drawing. By observing and measuring nature's ever-changing growth from season to season, year after year, Tuori uses his photographs as means to encapsulate the passage of time. This conceptual process is achieved by layering one photographic negative upon another to create his own imaginary landscape.

Feminism and memory are central themes in Milja Laurila’s work, which delves into the intricate relationship between knowledge and the subconscious. By using borrowed images—particularly photographs from old medical books—as the foundation of her work, she frees them from their original context, allowing them to take on new meanings. Laurila's latest series, Interiors, once again revisits the photographs of female patients from the early 20th century. These women have become intimately familiar to the artist, becoming uncannily intertwined with her sense of self.

Zofia Kulik started creating large black-and-white photographs after 1987, marking the end of her collaborative work with Przemysław Kwiek (KwieKulik 1971–87). Her photographs are meticulously produced in a darkroom process using multiple exposures of negatives on photo paper, achieved through precisely cut stencils. This technique developed by the artist allows her to compose a single work of many individual images drawn from her extensive archive, which Kulik has been building since the start of her artistic practice.

Umbra #14, 1977

Silver gelatin print

50,5 x 66 cm

Grey Crawford was born and raised in Southern California, USA, and was one of the first West Coast artists who challenged the photographic medium through his darkroom experiments with both black and white and color photography. His early 1970s black and white photographs, from his Umbra series, combine the dense urban landscape images of Los Angeles with his darkroom experiments. Inspired by the basic shapes and forms used by the California Hard Edge painters John McLaughlin and Karl Benjamin, Crawford distinguished himself from the popular topographers of that era, such as Lewis Baltz. He infused these geometric forms, utilizing his own masking and filter techniques, which he developed during his studies at the Rochester Institute.

Eeva Karhu uses the photographic process of layering one image upon another to visualize the passage of time. In the manner of the repeated subject studies of Impressionist painters, she takes a photo every day at the same point of her path home, compiling these photographs from one month or season to create a unique image. Karhu continues this process throughout the year, creating her own visual calendar of changes in nature.

She collects her found images from a variety of sources, such as archives, old encyclopedias, and the internet, combining and intertwining them to create new and inventive connections. The Big Bang Theory (Dancer & Solar Eclipse) reflects the artist’s ongoing fascination with objects in orbit while evoking Aristotle’s theories on the movement of celestial bodies around the Earth within crystalline spheres.

Merops Apiaster, 2024

Pigment Print

In her works, Sanna Kannisto explores the intersection between nature, science, and art. During numerous stays in South America, along with her recent work in Finland, she became a visual researcher, borrowing methodologies from the natural sciences, anthropological practices, and still-life painting traditions. As part of her artistic process, she stages portable "field studios" to photograph birds. By removing the subject from its original natural context, the viewer’s attention is directed towards its specific characteristics and movements.
