Johan Eichhorn

Lähteneet - They Left, photographs

The boat has sunk, only the structures of the house remain, the sauna roof has collapsed and the stove has disappeared. The Finnish countryside has undergone major changes in recent decades. In search of work, people have moved to towns, big cities and abroad, and many small villages that were once vibrant have withered. In his staged photographs, Johan Eichhorn brings to life times gone by, while showing that these times are over and will never return. Meet the artist at the gallery on the last day of the exhibition on January 24th 2026 from 1-3 p.m.

Jukka Granström

Stadi 1980, photographs

Opening reception for the exhibition on Tuesday Jan 27th from 5 p.m to 7 p.m. Warm welcome! The photos selected for this exhibition are taken in Helsinki in 1980. That year was a special one in my life: I had moved from my childhood home in Espoo to live on my own in the city centre of Helsinki. During that year, I ended up dropping out of my technical studies, as photography, which had started as a hobby, had taken a strong hold on me.
