so what was that all about?

yeah, as you may have noticed, the previous project was a reinterpretation of a finnish 'kuksa', a hand-carved wooden cup that finnish people love to carry around in the forest. the idea was to provide newcomers to helsinki a means (muksa) to discover the interesting cafés in the city through cheaper coffee for carrying your own cup!

this was also a group project, thanks to my groupmates and we had yet another exhibition in the halls of the lovely aalto university.

voila! this is the work in the exhibition:) since i didn't get permission, i cannot put the other peoples' works here. but i really would like to thank all my kind friends that helped me with their ideas, their photographing skills, their poses, their fun and their patience:D this is not an individual work at all.

ok, here's the link to what this workshop is all about... for me it was a great experience to work with all the different people from different backgrounds. i think it still is not finished, but let's see about that.

.

what do you think this work could be about? what do you feel when you see it? before i explain i would like to hear from you...

you exhibitionist

hihi yet another teaser for you here... i have been working quite a lot lately, and not just by myself. there was an intense workshop. i am not showing or telling anything else until... the exhibition begins!! can you believe? this will be the first time i suppose, that i am in an exhbition! yuppiiii:) can you guess what this can be a part of?

just wait, more details coming soon.

detail

i can't show you yet what i'm working on, but i can give you a sneak peek. not even near being finished. i'm quite happy that it is friday:) this work will be shown in a couple of weeks. arg!!! what will be the reaction? no idea. by the way, i think this will be the first time my work is exhibited in a non-commercial setting. hmm. let's see how that feels. i hope i'll like it! do you think there is such a thing as non-commercial?;)

shutter speed

today one of my friends took lots of pictures of the work done in my classroom. yes, i do some teaching:) i was really excited about the results; he did a fantastic job! i can't wait to see them printed for an exhibition... i hope i can handle that! i'll keep you informed.

shadow of the man

there was an exhibition about shadow. there is an exhibition, actually, because it will last until may 6th, the name is in praise of shadow . it was about everything shadow: puppets, animations, drawings, footage from shadow plays... actually stuff i really like and want to spend a special time researching. i went there a couple of weeks ago, but was kind of... disappointed. i don't know what exactly i was expecting, but i wanted see more 'stuff' and 'action', i guess. the exhibition left a 'weak' taste in my mouth. thinking about all the incredible effects you can do with shadow... i always like walking around the museum (usually the museum is more interesting than what's inside for me) so it can be fun to visit if you have some extra time and keep your expectations low.
