Saara Ekström: Through the Still Eye of the Timestorm <p>Saara Ekström: Through the Still Eye of the Timestorm</p><p>Saara Ekström’s works approach the essence of time – its nourishing and eroding influence on memory, landscape, objects and architecture.</p><p>In the earth’s deep abysses and high altitudes unfold archaic worlds which enchant and confuse people, allowing them to encounter the fragility and temporality of existence; erupting volcanoes, primeval forests compressed into coal, petrified fossils and caves where early humans left their marks.</p><p>In her works, Saara Ekström traces the connections between geological events, evolution, corporeality, and the subconscious. The installations and experimental films navigate towards the edges of the great mystery of time – a cycle of birth, death, and constant change.</p><p>The exhibition includes several new works, such as a three-channel projection shot on film, sculptures, photographs and texts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kunsthalle Helsinki</p><p>10.6. - 27.8.2023</p><p>Tue, Thu and Fri 11.00-18.00, Wed 11.00-20.00, Sat-Sun 11.00-17.00&nbsp;</p><p>Admission fee 8/14€, under 18 yrs free entry</p>
