À travers ces moments de pose avec ses modèles, la photographe finnoise a cherché à retrouver l’atmosphère des photographies anciennes quand se faire photographier était un évènement rare. Cet album accompagne l’exposition au Ordrupgaard, Charlottenlund, au Danemark du 8 février au 1er avril 2013 et au Finnish Museum of Photography d’Helsinki en Finlande du 16 janvier au 21 avril 2013 ; photos en noir et blanc.
Nelli Palomäki—another important representative of the Helsinki School
Finnish photographer Nelli Palomäki (*1981) searches for the lost magic that was once inherent in photography in the days when having your portrait taken was something special. Palomäki’s timeless black-andwhite portraits of children and young adults reveal the fragility of the moment shared with her subject. Her photographs deal with growing up, memory, and mortality. In the artist’s own words, “We fight against our mortality, denying it, yet photographs are there to prove our inescapable destiny. The idea of getting older is heartrending.”
Exhibition schedule: Ordrupgaard, Charlottenlund, Denmark February 8–April 1, 2013 | The Finnish Museum of Photography, Helsinki, Finland January 16–April 21, 2013
