We collaborated with graphic designer Antti Grundstén to create a new exhibition concept, architecture, and graphics for the Finnish Museum of Photography, located in the basement of Kaapelitehdas, Cable Factory in Helsinki.
The exhibition is divided into different themed areas, with curved and wavy aluminium walls acting as a guide.
Aluminium was chosen as the main building material because it's commonly used to print photos, while birch plywood brings softness and warmth to the space.
The exhibition challenges the visitors to reflect on their relationship with photography and its significant role in contemporary society.
