Wanda & Naomi Holopainen: Landscape of Traces
Oct 16 – Nov 15, 2026
Yrjönkatu 8-10, sisäpiha, 00120 Helsinki
Landscape of Traces, an exhibition by artists Wanda Holopainen and Naomi Holopainen, continues their collaborative exploration of archives, memory and the ways in which knowledge is carried across generations and places.
The exhibition examines how histories are remembered, preserved and passed on through objects, materials and practices. It considers how our relationship with things from the past shapes what remains, what is left out and what is forgotten.
Landscape of Traces invites visitors to consider what remains in the materials around us and the stories they carry. What do we choose to reclaim, preserve, care for and pass on? What might exist beyond what we can see?
Wanda Holopainen (b. 1993) is a self-taught multidisciplinary installation artist. Her current practice brings together textile installation, moving image and photography to explore material memory, ecology, transformation and cultural transmission.
Naomi Holopainen (b. 1993) works conceptually across different media, exploring lines, forms and movement. Her practice focuses on how materials, bodies and spaces carry traces of experience, and how ordinary materials can be transformed through touch, process and environment.
Grounded in collective creation and spatiality, her work explores the relationships between materials, bodies and their surroundings.
