Fotografiska 5th birthday – Walk In Bloom: tour with 5 artist
Fotografiska 5th birthday special events 6th–9th of June
Fotografiska 5th birthday exhibition "In Bloom"
Nature is enigmatic. Strong and noble, yet fragile and fleeting. Tamed or wild, groomed or untouched, influenced and altered by humans. Bright and beautiful, yet simultaneously dark and ominous. It is a sacred refuge from which all has evolved. In the exhibition "In Bloom", the awe-inspiring meets the delicate, the beautiful encounters the dangerous, and the familiar confronts the unknown. Fotografiska is In Bloom.
Join us for an extraordinary exploration amid the blooming beauty – on June 8th, a special tour of the exhibition “In Bloom” will take place, where five participating artists will open the door to their creative worlds and shed light on the background of the exhibition through their eyes. Discussing the relationship between nature and humanity in art will be Cig Harvey (US), Inka & Niclas (SWE), Santeri Tuori (FIN), and Heikki Leis (EST).
Adding a flavorful twist to the tour is Fotografiska's "In Bloom" cocktail, also available alcohol-free.
