    • Niko Luoma is a unique photographer who uses light to create his own visual worlds rather than capturing reality. Through meticulous layering and multiple exposures, he produces abstract photographs with stunning color intensity. His series "Adaptations" pays homage to famous artists, transforming photography into a form of art. Luoma is a prominent figure of the Helsinki School.

      Following the first four volumes of The Helsinki School, this new publication looks back at the development of this group of photographers over the past twenty years and traces the emergence of the gallery and photographic tendency bearing this name. In a collection of essays international curators, art critics, and museum directors describe their encounters with the Helsinki School, from the first exhibitions in the late nineties to the youngest generation of photographers. A discussion between Timothy Persons and Alistair Hicks concludes these contributions. The texts are accompanied by installation shots from numerous international exhibitions, archival materials, books, posters, invitations, and most recent works by the different generations of artists. Not only a history, the book is also a look towards the future of one of the most successful galleries and concepts in contemporary photography.

      The Helsinki school
    • Die elegante S-Kurve einer Autobahn und auf den Hügeln dahinter als Kontrapunkte riesige Windräder – Hendrik Saxgren (*1953, Randers, Dänemark) sucht und findet an den entlegensten Stellen künstlerisches Potenzial und gestalterischen Willen. Der Titel seiner Serie Unintended Sculptures, die er seit 2001 immer wieder fortführt, ist Programm: Saxgren entdeckt in Natur und Umwelt Formverhältnisse, Strukturen und optische Täuschungen, die bewusst und von Künstlerhand gesetzt worden zu sein scheinen: Wer Augen hat zu sehen, dem kann nicht verborgen bleiben, dass jene Folientunnel-Agraranlage von Christo und Jean-Claude verpackt worden sein muss. Oder dass diese geometrischen Basaltsteinformationen an einem Küstenabschnitt einer gewaltigen bildhauerischen Vision gleichen. Saxgrens an der Dokumentarfotografie geschulter Blick erlaubt ihm, diese 'Skulpturen' genau in dem Augenblick festzuhalten, in dem sie sich im Zusammenklang mit ihrer Umgebung am klarsten definieren. Ausstellungen: Det Nationale Fotomuseum, Kopenhagen 20.9.–19.12.2009
