Personal exhibition "Fragments of Vulnerability", 2023
The measurements of the work are not accurate
My final project is organizing a solo exhibition in Tartu’s Tampere House from March 30 to April 23, 2023. The photo exhibition “Fragments of Vulnerability” tells the story of limiting beliefs and inner work done on oneself, seeing oneself and being seen. Through the depiction of the naked body and nature, I bring the viewers’ attention to different aspects of fragility. The 10 black-and-white works in the exhibition are personal, but still cognitively generalizable, and hopefully raise important questions. What kind of relationship do you have with yourself? What kind of relationship do you have with those around you? What makes you vulnerable? How do you feel in your body? The purpose of the written part of the thesis is to understand the relationship between art and the viewer. I want to learn how to better communicate myself as an artist and find out what are the benefits of creating and experiencing art. The first objective of the practical part is to create a photo exhibition where, as an artist, I allow myself to be more consciously vulnerable. Secondly the goal is to gain more experience in organizing exhibitions. This is my second solo exhibition. I decided this in favor of the subject approach, as I feel that this is the necessary experience for me as a beginning artist and place of study.
The photo exhibition tells the story of limiting beliefs and inner work done on oneself, seeing oneself and being seen. Through the depiction of the naked body and nature, the artist draws attention to various aspects of vulnerability. The exhibition’s ten black-and-white photoworks are personal yet cognitively generalizable and hopefully, raise important questions. What kind of relationship do you have with yourself? What kind of relationship do you have with those around you? What makes you vulnerable? How do you feel in your body? How do you allow yourself to be seen?
