In Loodus\u2019 words, \u201818 Moments of Spring\u2018 explores a current theme in his work, namely observing moments where time appears to stop or slow down .\u201cWith this exhibition, I invite the visitor into a state that allows them to observe their surroundings from the neutral position of a bystander. I see this as a positive solution to the current state of the world, where the relationship between substantial forces has led to overheating and we can no longer find effective methods to control the situation,\u201d explains Loodus.<\/p>\n
The fact that the title of the exhibition gives reference to the Soviet-era television series \u2018Seventeen Moments of Spring\u2018 (1973, directed by Tatyana Lioznova) is not accidental. The cinematography of the series is similar to the pioneers of \u2018slow cinema\u2019 like Andrey Tarkovsky<\/strong> and Ingmar Bergman<\/strong>. The roots of Holger Loodus\u2019 work can be found in a related worldview, a conviction that visual art is an independent language that can be used to address even the most complex of topics and a desire to move toward a slowed thinking process, where a whole world can be found in a single drop of water.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n The exhibition with its all-encompassing and fantastic atmosphere, amplified by sound, also includes a sense of humour reminding us that we should not take anything too seriously.<\/p>\n The exhibition will be on display until April 23, 2023.<\/p>\n Holger Loodus is a musician, painter, multimedia, and installation artist, as well as a lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts. His work is characterised by the construction of strange situations that at times strive toward fantastical realities or alternative histories. In 2018, he participated in the exhibition of the K\u00f6ler Prize nominees at the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia and was awarded the People\u2019s Choice Award. Since 2010, he has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in Estonia, Lithuania, Finland and Germany. His most recent solo exhibitions took place at Kogo Gallery in Tartu (2021), Turku Art Museum (2019) and the Tallinn Art Hall Gallery (2017).<\/p>\n This exhibition is supported by the Cultural Endowment of Estonia, Tallinn Department of Culture and Sports, Vestman Energia, the Estonian Centre of Folk Culture, and AkzoNobel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Holger Loodus\u2019 new solo exhibition \u201818 Moments of Spring\u2018 has opened at Kai Keskus in Tallinn.
