No one uses the camera like the photographer Niko Luoma. He is not
interested in capturing the world in front of his lens. He uses
light to create his own visual spheres. Using up to a thousand
multiple exposures he applies individual elements of color and form
to the negative, layer by layer. Meticulous calculations and
geometrical skills are the necessary foundation for this. The
results are abstract photographs of impressive, colorful intensity
and luminosity. This book of photos is based on the series
Adaptions, which reproduces famous works by other artists. Luoma
presents a fascinating visual game in which the independent
charisma of the photographs acts in concert with its reverence
toward Bacon, Hockney, Van Gogh, or Picasso. With tongue in cheek,
Luoma thus realizes the avant-garde’s desire to liberate
photography from reproducing reality, allowing it to become an art.
The Nature of Being is the sixth volume from the series of books
about the Helsinki School. It concentrates on bringing together the
various approaches used by the School's representatives to
conceptualize nature visibly. The stated goal is not to limit
oneself to purely physical depictions of animals, plants, and
landscapes. Nature ought to be expressed through a different type
of unit and with a new way of gauging time. Days, months, and
seasons become the points of crystallization for time. Thus, the
photographs reflect a Nordic sense about feelings of loneliness,
jealousy, or desire. The works provide photographic insight into
the complex horizon of emotions that characterize our individual
views of nature. They do not portray landscape as such, but the
world in which we live.
