The exhibition The Helsinki School—Out of the Depths of Photography continues in its longstanding tradition of pushing the boundaries of how we perceive and interpret the photographic image. This presentation features a range of explorations into how different materials—such as fabrics, layered collages, and folded film negatives transformed into sculptures—can be utilized to form a new visual language within the photographic process today. It represents a collective effort to redefine the material qualities of the photograph, attempting to recover its magic as a physical object. This is the first fully dimensional overview from any previous Helsinki School presentations to conceptually challenge these existing parameters.
