I was given some images as a gift from my aunt-in-law. She had found them from her house in Imatra, a town in eastern Finland, stored away with family albums. She had asked around but nobody knew who the people in the images were. It could only be concluded that they had been taken during or just before the second world war. The works are created from these images.
Supported by TAIKE Arts Promotion Centre Finland and Kone Foundation.
The photographs have been exhibited in:
– Valtio+, an exhibition by various artist run spaces and collectives at the former Turku prison, 11.-31.7.2015
– Huuto Alphabet, a group exhibition celebrating Galleria Huuto’s 10th anniversary, Galleria Huuto Uudenmaankatu, Helsinki, 17.4.–5.5.2013, concept and curation by Marja Viitahuhta

Two smaller print versions of Greta were sold to private collections as part of a fundraising for Galleria Oksasenkatu 11.
