Exposition

An archive of consolation (2017)

About this exposition

This exposition consists of my videowork Voices of Consolation (2014), which is an attempt to console the black-clad woman seen in Vilhelm Hammershøi's (1864–1916) interior paintings, and an experimental essay in which I ask: Could a research text be constructed in the same way as a picture? This was previously published in Finnish with the title “Lohdutusten arkisto” (Ruukku 4, 2015) and is part of my article-based doctoral thesis Laatukuvia ja kirjallisia kokeiluja/ Genre pictures and experiments in writing (University of the Arts Helsinki, Academy of Fine Arts 2017).

I very much appreciated your work. Tactile and strong in its straightforward honest attempt to add to Hammershøy and his contemplative work. Thank you/ S
