Until this Thursday, 4 November, you can still see the third edition of Image to Image! We welcome you at the live streaming every day from 6pm to 12pm at our gallery window at Lindenstraße 35, Berlin – or take a look at the exhibition online on video.personsprojects.com.
Centering on the 25th anniversary of the Helsinki School, the exhibition features six of the most essential Helsinki School artists using video as an extension to their photographic works. Featuring artworks by Pasi Autio, Elina Brotherus, Sanna Kannisto, Hannu Karjalainen, Jari Silomäki, Santeri Tuori. Curated by Timothy Persons.
Santeri Tuori's "Forest, Tree and a Pond", is part of his Forest series, which has been filmed on the remote island of Kökar in the Åland archipelago during the past sixteen years. In the moving images of the Forest series, black and white photographs and color videos have been superimposed on top of each other. The result is a layered image, which contains the sharpness and richness of a photograph and the movement and time of a video. Images taken at different times or even years come together in the same landscape. Time in these images cannot be counted, not in years, not in split seconds. Time just is.

Framed. Activities for the Camera
Grey Crawford | Hilla Kurki | KwieKulik | Józef Robakowski
The group exhibition "Framed. Activities for the Camera" is focusing on the correlation between performance and photography. Performance as an art form, beginning in the mid-20th century, has been used and developed by contemporary artists through their use of photography as their primary tool for recording their ideas and actions. Understandably, performance needs photography in order to be able to last through time. Yet, photography plays an even more important role, not only as a means for the documentation but especially when the performance is staged solely for the camera.
______
Karl Ketamo | Among Other Things
Karl Ketamo's first solo show "Among Other Things" is Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction". Ketamo questions the relationship between objects of mass replication as opposed to the exclusiveness of the same object as a piece of art. One is produced and marketed on a global scale, while the other finds its exclusivity in a gallery. Ketamo utilizes a multidisciplinary approach in how he realizes his works, using photography, moving image, and sculpture for his various installations and exhibitions.

Both exhibitions will run until 15 January 2022.
We welcome you at the gallery Tuesday – Saturday, 11 am – 6 pm.

Understandably, performance art needs photography to be able to last. Yet, photography plays an even more important role, not only as a means for the documentation but especially when the performance is staged solely for the camera.

We at Persons Projects feel privileged to have the opportunity to introduce you to the edition box “MAA” by Jyrki Parantainen. First hand produced and signed in 1991, we feel compelled to rerelease the remaining editions to commemorate the exhibition Poetic Realities (up until the 25 June 2020). This series consists of 11 photographic images from Parantainen’s Earth-Series (1981-1991) and reveals his earliest interventions into the Finnish landscape in a highly individual way. These images reflect Parantainen’s unique process of working from his choice of sites to the laborious effort to integrate other materials into the works. His visceral combinations of different physical elements such as dry ice and ignited gasoline, create a surreal visual experience. He also used various organic materials from milk to chalk stone, ice and fire lit torches to transform his selected environments. Parantainen created these personal landscapes for the sole purpose of photographically capturing that one specific moment when these various elements merge together to form a Land Art experience. Format: 62 x 47 cm Pages: 13 Edition: 400
Persons Projects welcomes you to join us 23 and 24 May 2020 for the opening of A Kiss Given by Time to Light, a group exhibition featuring Timo Kelaranta, Pertti Kekarainen, Kira Leskinen, Niko Luoma and Niina Vatanen. It’s a tribute to Timo Kelaranta’s influence as a mentor, teacher and artist in how his experimentations with abstraction has inspired one generation after another from the Helsinki School. This exhibition reflects upon how all these artists use the photographic process as a means to exercise their own sense for essentiality in defining how they collect time through multiple exposures inspired by sound, space, color and light. Looking back over the past thirty years, Timo Kelaranta must now be considered one of the first photographic pioneers in the Nordic region to explore the numerous possibilities of abstraction as a voice in visual poetry. ___________________________________________ A Kiss Given by Time to Light Opening: 23 and 24 May 2020, 12 – 6 pm Lindenstraße 34, 10969 Berlin Exhibition: 23 May – 25 June 2020
