Hannele Rantala & Kari Soinio: Laskoksia

The double artist-book Laskoksia (Foldings), featuring works by Kari Soinio and Hannele Rantala, explores themes of remembering and forgetting, change and loss. Different times and places fold into each other, with pictures carrying a memory or showing how they fade away.

Surprising similarities emerge in the visual worlds of the two artists, illustrating the impact of time on both human bodies and built spaces, where paint peels off walls, and hair turns white. Death is depicted as a presence in life, sometimes distressing, yet occasionally beautiful.
