"The pictures show the development and change of the relationship between the subject and the Photographer - and the turn, where the photographer has become the photographed. The photos in the exhibition were taken between 2011 and 2022 in ten different countries."

”THE MUSE”
3.8.-30.8.2023 Peijaksen sairaala, Sairaalakatu 1, 01400 Vantaa kahvion viereinen käytävä. Avoinna arkisin 8-16.
As a fine art photographer, I have had the pleasure and honor of visiting residencies in several countries, and my muse has often visited them as well, who has been allowed to act as my model when necessary.
The photos in the exhibition were taken between 2011 and 2022 in ten different countries, which have been: Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Czech Republic.
The pictures show the development and change of the relationship between the subject and the Photographer - and the turn, where the photographer has become the photographed.
This exhibition has been put together by the so-called "in the corner of the eye" humor by playing with the relationship between the Photographer and the model, but it also gives the opportunity to live in these roles of the Photographer and photographed:
"How to be a model and what kind of model do I want to be?"
"How to get to new countries and their worlds in pictures?"
And what happens when being a model gets dull?
- and the roles change
- subject becomes a photographer.
