Kunsthalle Seinäjoki | Exhibition: Laskoksia

The exhibition Laskoksia (Foldings), featuring works by Kari Soinio and Hannele Rantala, explores themes of remembering and forgetting, change and loss. Different times and places fold into each other, with pictures carrying a memory or showing how they fade away. The photographs and moving images in the exhibition delve into timeless subjects such as loneliness, isolation, reminiscence, and trauma. The group of two artists and a curator has contemplated how fear and the refugee experience can pass from one generation to another, and how losses can transform individuals. Surprising similarities emerge in the visual worlds of the two artists, illustrating the impact of time on both human bodies and built spaces, where paint peels off walls, and hair turns white. Death is depicted as a presence in life, sometimes distressing, yet occasionally beautiful.

Exhibition is curated by leena-Maija Rossi.
