An archive of consolation
(2017)
author(s): Elina Saloranta
published in: Research Catalogue
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).
