Jorma Puranen in Tampere

Works by Jorma Puranen are on view as part of The Beauty of Moments exhibition, alongside photographs by Ulla Jokisalo and Pentti Sammallahti. The exhibition features works dating from the 1970’s up until the recent years, and runs until 15 September 2024 at Eemil Aaltonen’s Museum in Tampere.

“The beauty of a photograph might be about enabling us to take a closer look at those moments, which are mercilessly bypassed by the normal passage of time. Beauty is also about exposure to the world and submission to it, the expanded relationship between the self and the world.”

The works of the three photographers in the exhibition are recordings of these encounters with the world. They express intimacy and provide understanding of the porousness of the human boundaries.
