The Wet Language is a constantly growing series of photographic collage images around questions of language, the body, identity, alienation and belonging: the Dadaist who meets his twin brother. Many of the images have autobiographical undertones.

Ismo Hölttö, known for his perceptive black-and-white portraits of the 1960s depicting the everyday lives of city folks and country people, unexpectedly returned to photography in the spring of 2023, and his new subject was something completely different. When walking around the city, Hölttö's gaze was now fixed on electrical cabinets, drainpipes and the surfaces of lamp posts instead of people.

Helena Marja Teräväinen is an architect, Doctor of Technology, currently a freelance researcher and photographer.‍ Her exhibition wants to highlight the importance of permanence in architecture – instead of the madness of demolition.

The exhibition Fragile Threads of Time consists of tannin-patinated cyanotype prints printed on watercolor paper. The images were taken in empty building interiors and courtyards in my home region of Satakunta. They are details of the passage of time and forgetting.

My pictures depict moments, feelings and boundaries. Through them I want to share a story – about the reality or unreality of one woman. About the voices, imaginations and visions of the mind.

Film director Risto Jarva (1934-1977) made two trips to Europe with his schoolmate Juhani Jauhiainen on a 125cc Vespa: in 1954 via France to Italy and in 1955 to Spain and Portugal. The third trip was made in a dilapidated Renault in 1959 via Yugoslavia and Greece to Turkey. These trips resulted in hundreds of photographs, from which the Risto Jarva Society has compiled an exhibition in the Tile and Cellar galleries of Laterna Magica.
