GENRE PICTURES AND EXPERIMENTS IN WRITING is a doctoral thesis in article form of the interaction between image, word and sound. It consists of five essays, which have been published or otherwise made accessible to the public in various forums for artistic research, plus a total of seven videoworks. The last of these videos is a wordless epilogue. The thesis also includes an introduction in the form of a letter.
An archive of consolation

This exposition consists of my videowork Voices of Consolation (2014), which is an attempt to console the black-clad woman seen in Vilhelm Hammershøi's (1864–1916) interior paintings, and an experimental essay in which I ask: Could a research text be constructed in the same way as a picture? This was previously published in Finnish with the title “Lohdutusten arkisto” (Ruukku 4, 2015) and is part of my article-based doctoral thesis Laatukuvia ja kirjallisia kokeiluja/ Genre pictures and experiments in writing (University of the Arts Helsinki, Academy of Fine Arts 2017).
