ESTONIA, ELSEWHERE

“Estonia, Elsewhere” brings together photographs made across different cities through my ongoing relationships with Estonian designers, stylists, artists, models, and friends. The exhibition explores how these creative connections extend beyond geographical borders, tracing the influence of Estonian creativity on my photographic practice through friendship and cultural exchange.

Many of these photographs have primarily existed online, experienced through a screen. For this exhibition, I wanted to give them a different kind of presence in the physical world. Displayed on clothing hangers, the photographs take on a material quality, existing somewhere between an image and an object.

Ahead of the opening, I spoke with Eva-Karlotta Tatar about the project, our connection, and the creative relationships that have shaped the work. Read the interview here.
