Gravity

Our photography study group had a get together today. We met in the Photographic Centre Nykyaika, where currently is Aapo Huhta's exhibition called Gravity.

In his new austerely black and white work, Aapo Huhta fills his photographs with a darkness so impenetrable that it dissolves the horizon. This nocturnal void is inhabited by figures that seem to be shrouded in milky mist or to exist behind a veil of cosmic radiation.  They are at once painfully corporeal and infinitely distant, as if visual echoes from another dimension. These bodies give us no information on the space they inhabit, because their existence does not adhere to familiar laws of physics. 

Then we walked to the Finlayson area to see photography exhibition Lempeä Katse VI.

The exhibition features artists who are students specializing in the empowering photography method, along with experienced professionals working in fields of encounter together with their students, patients, clients, and family members. The exhibition consists of nine processes and narrative collections created using this method. The works explore themes such as the wounds caused by intergenerational trauma, school bullying, family relationships, and minority stigmas, as well as their healing through the experience of being seen.

Lastly we had chat and coffee in the Pala Cafe. It was great to see again those lovely ladies!
