Wanda & Naomi Holopainen: Jälkien maisema

Wanda Holopainen and Naomi Holopainen's exhibition continues the artists' earlier collaboration. They explore archives, memory, and the different ways in which knowledge is transmitted across generations and places. It examines how history is remembered, preserved, and passed on through objects, materials, and practices. At the same time, it considers how the relationship to the past shapes what remains, what is left out, and what is forgotten. The exhibition invites the viewer to reflect on what traces remain in the materials around them and what kinds of stories they hold within. Wanda Holopainen (b. 1993) is a self-taught multidisciplinary installation artist. In her works, which combine textile installation, moving image, and photography, she examines material memory, ecology, change, and the transmission of culture. Holopainen explores how materials, landscape, and everyday environments carry traces of place, time, and human experience. Naomi Holopainen (b. 1993) works across different media, investigating line, form, and movement. In her artistic practice, she observes how everyday materials can be transformed through touch, process, and the influence of the environment. In works grounded in collectivity and spatiality, the focus is on the relationships between materials, the body, and the environment.
