Every one of the works in the series has a story behind it. For example this exerpt from my travel journal:
”12th day
It rained all day, windy as well in the beginning. I put plastic bags on my hands and feet already in the morning. We only rode for 50 km. My shirts were wet, the hem was visible under my coat and sucked in water making everything else wet as well. Jökulsárlón was a beautiful, beautiful place. Icebergs and a glacier lake. The night before we made camp in pouring rain next to an adjacent glacier lagoon. This was even prettier. Light blue icebergs. Black sand. Icebergs making their way into Atlantic ocean on the icy stream. And a seal! A playful seal among them! Rain was still torrential. Our bikes were surrounded by water during our hot chocolate break.

Eeva Karhu / Surrounded by
17.7.-30.8.2020

Surrounded by -teossarja on saanut alkunsa pyörämatkalta Islannin ympäri. Fyysisesti haastava matka jätti voimakkaat muistijäljet, joita Karhu purki myöhemmin Suomessa kuvattuihin kuviin. Hän on inspiroitunut romantiikan ajasta, jolloin taiteilijat kuten William Turner, matkustivat subliimin, ylevän, perässä tavoittaakseen voimakkaita luontokokemuksia.

The series, ‘Surrounded by’, was first conceived on a bicycle trip around Iceland. The physically challenging trip left its mark in the form of vivid memories that Karhu later worked into photographs in Finland. Karhu is inspired by the Romantic period, during which artists such as William Turner travelled to remote places in order to attain an experience of the sublime in nature.

Kunsthalle Turku is open Wednesday-Sunday, 12-6pm. Welcome!

Eeva Karhun teosten kerroksellinen rakenne on tapa käsitellä kuvien kautta ajan kulkua ja syklisyyttä, sekä havainnon ja sisäisen kokemuksen suhdetta. Jokainen valokuvateos koostuu useista kymmenistä päällekkäisistä kuvista, jotka vaikuttavat lopputulokseen yhtä paljon. Kaksiulotteisten valokuvataideteosten lisäksi Karhu havainnollistaa työskentelytapaansa installaatiomuodossa.

Eeva Karhu uses a layered structure in her pieces as a way of processing the passage and cyclicity of time through images as well as exploring the relationship between observation and internal experience. Each photographic piece consists of several dozens of overlapping images, each playing an equal role in the final result. In addition to two-dimensional photographic pieces, Karhu uses installations to illuminate her methods.
