Ola Kolehmainen, who will present his work at Senda Gallery from July 15th until July 31st is showing his new project titled South of home-Journey of a mind at the 17th Biennale of Sidney that takes place from May 12th until August 1st.
South of home-Journey of a mind is composed by a series of projections of iconic modernist buildings, not only from Sydney but also from elsewhere that the artist has captured previously with photographs. These projections let us see the approaching of the artist to the material he wants to interpret, to what he tries to depict, in an abstract way, mystifying photography itself and giving qualities that have more to be with the elements he shows in reality than the thing in its iconic nature. Despite what we could think, there are no digital manipulations in the images.
