Feminism and memory are central themes in Milja Laurila’s work, which delves into the intricate relationship between knowledge and the subconscious. By using borrowed images—particularly photographs from old medical books—as the foundation of her work, she frees them from their original context, allowing them to take on new meanings. Laurila's latest series, Interiors, once again revisits the photographs of female patients from the early 20th century. These women have become intimately familiar to the artist, becoming uncannily intertwined with her sense of self.
By weaving her personal emotional experiences into these images, she constructs multi-layered collages where past and present converge. The fractured layers and cuts in her work invite contemplation of the unseen, hidden aspects of human experience, questioning what lies beneath the surface.
