Pekka Niittyvirta: Monsters, Dark Mills and Angels III

In the 3rd – and final – iteration of Pekka Niittyvirtas (FI) on-going trilogy ‘Monsters, Dark Mills and Angels’ photographic works and interactive sculptures form an installation-like body showcasing judicial settings, walls and facades — borders and prisons.

The photographs taken in The United States and Palestine present one reality without claiming a documentary position — settling themselves between notions of the factual and the imaginary.

The interactive photographs prohibit the viewer from seeing them up close, undermining the notion of non-transparent nature of the judicial system. Sculptures in the exhibition combine the temporality and documentary quality of the photograph, alongside the commercial and institutional framework and aesthetics of the fluorescent tubes.
