The photo series is part of the 'St. George x Residency x Photofuss: Dream Laboratory' exhibition. The series was created during a 24-hour artist residency at Hotel St. George in autumn 2023. An exhibition of selected images by the five residency photographers will be on display at the St. George Bakery until the end of 2024. The project was executed in collaboration with Hotel St. George, The Finnish Museum of Photography and Photofuss.
During the residency, I began photographing somewhat intuitively, while focusing on editorial-themed images, that combine documentary approach with staged photography. Awkward compositions, playfulness, and immersion played a central role in my images
