Pekka Niskanen & Mohamed Sleiman Labat – Nomadic Seeds

Pekka Niskanen and Mohamed Sleiman Labat follow in their artistic research project the multi-layered story of phosphate in the Baltic region as well as in the Sahrawi Refugee camps in Hamada Desert. The project deals with phosphate and its effects on two vastly different environments.

Leonor Ruiz Dubrovin – Bolthole

Bolthole series depicts different portraits and embodiments that explore internal dilemmas and the desire to rebuild oneself. The exhibition reflects on Ruiz Dubrovin’s concern with the construction of the self and the ways in which personal identities are formed, constrained, or enhanced during ongoing relationships.
The themes of this exhibition are very diverse; the perpetual metamorphosis of identity, the uncertainty of the individual in modern society, the masquerade played by humanity to achieve social acceptance, the illusory and fleeting sensation of triumph and prestige are all treated-and more.

Jenni Haili – Voyage Out

The starting points of Jenni Haili's photo installation Voyage Out are the emigration trips of her great-great-aunt Fanny and great-aunt Signe to America. In the timelines formed by the installation, alongside the landscape photographs taken by Haili, images from different sources intertwine: pictures from archives, the web, books, and created by artificial intelligence programs. The images in the work are re-photographed by using the historical wet plate collodion process.
