difference between ir and regular photos

quite many people asked how the infrared photos are different from a photo which would've been taken on regular film. now here's two example pics taken on efke820 film. when the photo is taken without filter the film acts like regular b/w film.

without filter

with 720nm filter

my show 'things i haven't seen' is open at malmitalo gallery until 19.2.

Vartti wrote about my exhibition at malmitalo 26.1.2011

there's a small article in the local newspaper Vartti on the issue that came out 26.1.2011
so at least the exhibition got mentioned somewhere. :)

showdown again

I'm once again taking part in the showdown at saatchi online with my work Saint Bunker, which is an infrared photograph taken in the village Saintes Maries de la Mer in southern France back in October. That same picture is also used for the invitation card of my up and coming exhibition 'Things I haven't seen' which opens 26.1. at Malmitalo art gallery, but more on that later.

my work shaft of light did well at the showdown competition at saatchi online, now there's a small interview of the top finalists at their web magazine.
check it out here

I just dumpster dived some film materials from the remains of the legendary movie theater Bristol. enough heads and tails to keep me bleaching and scratching film for a while! and a 2000m reel which is also quite usable. Also some cardboard film boxes and plastic film cans.

yle 20.2.0 is out, i made some little tiny minimal sound work for this but mostly it's by virne/kooma

Taidelainaamo - The Artotheque

Finally got my ass up enough to take few of my paintings to the Artotheque at the Library of Rikhardinkatu. All four paintings are now going for the price of 800e, and artotheque works so that you can just loan the paintings for a small monthly fee, and if you want to keep em you'll just pay the fee until you've paid the whole sum. Or if the painting doesn't fit your sofa or new fridge, you can just return it to the Artotheque. I'm also gonna deliver some ready-to-wall photographs there in a month or two.

here's the four paintings:

"glimmering marsh" acrylic & leaf metal on canvas. 40x120cm 2010



"lake of blood" acrylic on canvas. 40x120cm. 2010


"riches of the land" acrylic & leaf metal on canvas. 40x120cm 2010


"It's a fine day to die" acrylic on canvas. 40x120cm 2010

All four paintings were first presented at The Black Flag Hoisted exhibition held at tm-gallery.
