Samu Kuukka: Lust for Night
Sep 17 – 27, 2026
Neitsytpolku 8, 00140 Helsinki
In this vibrant series of nightology, the hedonism, rites, transgressions, and mythologies of the carnivalesque timespace of the big city night are brought before us in impressionistic and surrealistic film photography.
Sexy, dangerous, and irreverent, all these bohemians, nightbirds, and other noctambulants – artists, actors, musicians, philosophers, poets, and models, and demimondaines – take the city to themselves after the bourgeoisie has turned off the nightstand light.
Samu Kuukka is a photographic artist, filmmaker, and musician based out of Helsinki. In his visual work, he examines the human condition in the era of postmodernism and late capitalism.
He looks for random glints of bittersweet beauty and melancholy, and usually finds these in liminal places and moments.
