Atlas of Emotions
Jari Silomäki’s Atlas of Emotions is the result of an elaborate research process. For this, the artist – who is primarily known as a photographer – studied the stories of people who actively participate in digital discussion forums. Who are the people who hide behind alter ego names on digital platforms? Silomäki researched their backgrounds – also to find out how sometimes bizarre opinions are formed in the first place. He compiled his research in a manuscript and had actors reenact this fusion of imagination and reality in his studio, interpreting the scenes and domestic environments.

Persons Projects is happy to present the new volume of The Helsinki School: The Nature of Being, Vol. 6. The publication has been launched Saturday 7 November during Paris Photo Fair 2019.
It concentrates on bringing together the various approaches used by the School’s representatives to conceptualize nature visibly. The stated goal is not to limit oneself to purely physical depictions of animals, plants, and landscapes. Nature ought to be expressed through a di¤erent type of unit and with a new way of gauging time. Days, months, and seasons become the points of crystallization for time. Thus, the photographs reflect a Nordic sense about feelings of loneliness, jealousy, or desire. The works provide photographic insight into the complex horizon of emotions that characterize our individual views of nature. They do not portray landscape as such, but the world in which we live.
Since the 1990s the name Helsinki School has been used to describe a group of fine art photographers who studied, taught, or graduated from the Aalto University’s School of Art, Design and Architecture. The term unites a consistent conceptual approach.

I find it amazing that after twenty years of existence, the Helsinki School cannot be defined by any one fixed point of view. Conceptually there is a red thread connecting one generation to another in the way they perceive and present their ideas but not necessarily in how they apply them.
