Studio
– a Moment between body and clothes
The Finnish Museum of Photography, Helsinki
Process-space, June 1 – August 26 2012
Merja Hannikainen and Vappu Jalonen set up a studio in the Process space of The Finnish Museum of Photography in February 2012. More than 40 participants designed and constructed temporary clothes for themselves out of a pile of fabrics, and were then photographed. The dressing and photographing combined participants’ ways of expressing themselves with Hannikainen’s and Jalonen’s interest in various body performances.
The photographs were shown as a large projection in the same space where they had been taken.
Studio’s partner in collaboration was the cultural accessibility project Utopia Helsinki.
Supporters Angel Films and Color-Kolmio.

Studio, Berlin, 2011
During one weekend in March 2011, Galerie Suvi Lehtinen transformed into a dressing room and a photography studio. We took photographs of 25 people wearing self-designed, temporary clothes. Spontaneously and quick, the participants constructed something to wear out of a pile of fabrics. The set for the shooting was put together of recycled wood material.
We want to thank everyone who participated, it was a lot of fun!
