I still work with B/W, mostly with unique Fotograms and different combinations with negatives, usually on FibreBased paper. I am experimenting with chemistry and old papers possibilities.
Sattumasfääri – Sphere of Chance. Installation view at The Finnish Museum of Photography: ABSTRACT! Nov 2017 – Jan 2018. Unique. Silver gelatin photographs. Selenium toned, mounted. First time at Poriginal Gallery 1995. The intense playful rhythm in these abstract photographs is a metaphor about existential questions. Photographs were done as an emotional reaction after the sea catastrophy near our archipelago in Sept 1994, when passenger ship MS Estonia sunk. This installation was an attempt to understand the fact of vulnerability of life, about how suddenly the chance could influence into our lives.
