I did the exhibition design to Kunsthalle Seinäjoki’s art exhbition Valoon kahlitut (Chained to Light). I am also one of the artists.

Valoon Kahlitut is a monument to the career of the pioneer in photography Julia Widgrén (1842–1917). The exhibition pauses to look at Widgrén’s life and photographs, and to examine the worldviews that emerge from behind them. The exhibition’s slow techniques pay homage to the craftsmanship of the photographic profession in the 19th century. Widgren, who began her career in the 1860s, was one of the most successful photographers in Finland. The exhibition consists of archive photos, contemporary photography, object installations, textile works, drawings and videos.
