The photo exhibition \u201cKohti: Towards\u201d at the Tallinn Photography Museum<\/span><\/a> is the first international solo exhibition of Finnish photographer Sanni Saarinen. <\/span><\/p>\n
Sanni Saarinen is a documentary photographer, cultural anthropologist and author living in Espoo, Finland.<\/p>\n
Saarinen participated in the \u201cFoto Tallinn\u201d event earlier this autumn in Estonia, and as a result, she was asked to hold an exhibition at the Tallinn Museum of Photography.<\/p>\n
The photographer says that her artistic work can be roughly divided into two parts. Saarinen’s social photographs mainly focus on human rights, humanism and multiculturalism.<\/p>\n
The \u201cKohti: Towards\u201d exhibition focuses on Saarinen’s most intimate works. Autofictional images play an important role in humanity, but also in nature. Through her own life and that of her loved ones, Saarinen describes the universal themes of life. Among other things, her own daughter has been photographed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to document the lives of those I photograph. With my pictures, I deal with topics that touch my own life and all of us, such as family, memories, the continuum of life, growth, the passage of time, and disappearance. Sometimes, something small allows you to ask big questions,\u201d says Sanni Saarinen.<\/p>\n
Saarinen explores how we become ourselves. She does not believe that major turning points or milestones in life are the most important. \u201cWe become ourselves in those little moments of everyday life where nothing seems to happen,\u201d the photographer says.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Saarinen wants to avoid explaining her pictures. \u201cI let the photos speak for themselves. I interpret life with my pictures. They are not documentaries. I hope that every viewer will find things that are related to his or her life,\u201d Saarinen continues.<\/p>\n
The \u201cKohti: Towards\u201d exhibition will be on display at the Tallinn Museum of Photography until February 27, 2022.<\/p>\n
