Event summary

Highlights

  • Photographic series by Elina Brotherus featuring Aalto-designed buildings
  • Video work 'It Could Be Almost Anyone' (2026) by Lauri Astala using AI-generated visuals
  • Public artist talk with Astala and Brotherus on September 11

The exhibition showcases photographs by Elina Brotherus, who uses buildings designed by Alvar and Aino Aalto as settings for works that reference art history and evoke diverse atmospheres across different eras. Her imagery highlights the intersection of Aalto's functionalist philosophy with a bold aesthetic vision.

Complementing the photography is the video work 'It Could Be Almost Anyone' (2026) by Lauri Astala. This piece utilizes artificial intelligence to create video material based on Brotherus's photographs of the Maison Louis Carré, weaving together memories and present-day narratives. Astala also provided the script, editing, and sound for the work.

Hosted in the Lappia Hall lobby, the exhibition is free to attend and coincides with theater opening hours. A public artist talk is scheduled for September 11, where the creators will discuss the influence of architecture on their artistic process.
