For three years, Annika Haas captured on her photos young Estonians aged 12 to 21, and conducted interviews with them on environmental issues to learn about their attitude towards and awareness about consumption, nature conservation and personal contribution for minimizing their ecological footprint. The landscape on Haas‘ pictures is located in the outskirts of the capital city Tallinn. The place used to be an area for garden plots but now the abandoned and dilapidated greenhouses create an apocalyptic atmosphere.
The exhibition experience starts from the square right next to the Documentary Photography Centre, where Elo Liiv and Uko-Aija Heintalu have built a greenhouse from recyclable materials according to the vision by Annika Haas. On the glass surfaces there are portraits by Haas of young people who care about our environment. The portraits are in a symbiotic relationship with plants in the greenhouse. The exhibition also presents Estonian young people’s opinions about the environment on social media and by their open audiovisual interviews.
The exhibition is accompanied by programme of activities, stay tuned for updates.
