Elina Saloranta: Correspondence with the Past
The event is a part of Uniarts Helsinki’s fourth Research Pavilion, taking place in Hietsun Paviljonki and its surroundings in Helsinki 5 June – 29 August 2021.
Video works Kirje Elliltä (A letter from Elli, 2019) and Kirje Liisiltä (A letter from Liisi, 2021) by visual artist Elina Saloranta are based on the letters of two women born in the 1800s. One of the letters is a plea for help that the viewer may choose to answer. Reply letters collected from previous research events are also on display. What kind of advice does a woman from the 19th century get from people of the present day?
The artist will be present on 8 June from 16 to 18.
During the opening week, the Research Pavilion venue is open to public also on Monday 7 June 15-18.
