Photographic exhibition at...

...WAM (Wäinö Aaltonen's museum) in Turku (Åbo)*, Finland - Iiu Susiraja - she is very special, very different... most wellknown for the selfportraits, but that is not all when she is also a little bit an all-round artist nowadays. But still mostly a photographer! The titles of her photograps and other art pieces are often quite funny, e.g. Travolta Clean Up. In the extra blip (collage) other titles like Goodbye Playboy Cover, Hardcore Handbag, Strongwoman, Coffee at Noon...
   Edit: Please, note the last extra blip: Iia's mother is playing a role in some of her photographs - most of them has a rather depressive and dark atmosphere, but it doesn't mean that Iia and her mother have a bad relationship. My understanding is that they get along well!

Iia had her first exhibitions outside Finland 2011 and she has had many exhibitions also in USA since 2016, the latest one at MoMA in New York 2023. 

My impression of the exbhition was - surprisingly - "peaceful"" - "beautiful".

*Turku is her home city.
