In the Deme exhibition a single manifestation is perceived as part of a larger whole. The sense of control is lost inside a chaotic reality composed by far too many details. From this arises the need to generalize manifestations, an attempt to create order by classifying things.The priorities are the community and its functionality, but it is also important to recognize the uniqueness of each individual’s existence.
The works presented are based on simple, streamlined visual observations, that have been transformed into a single whole: Deme.
Antti Haapio (b.1964) is a photographer and photography teacher based in Tampere. The exhibition has received the support of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland TAIKE and the Finnish Cultural Foundation Pirkanmaa Fund.
