Katja
Öhrnberg: House in Woods, Flash dia-show.
- Are your dreaming about your own house?
"The
red cottage and potatofield" is a metaphor of the wish
for the liberty of Finns. It is a myth which lives especially
in mind of the first generation's city dwellers.
Anyway
Katja Öhrnberg is not only a daydreamer. "From These
Plocks (after the Civil War, 1918)", is a key work of
this exhibition collection.
We finnish have also our Civil War in our history, but we
are very speechless cultur. After our Civil war 1918 and other
wars, we have had to rebuild homes for many families. But
just during last years, we have started to discuss about it.

Katja
wrotes; "I see suuroundings and enviroment as an essential part
of piece of art. As such, the forest is a very challenging space,
because of its multitude, beauty, and constant transformation of its
presence.
I'm
intrested in people, especially in human mind. When I look at the
world I see mainly how mankind has shaped it. I wonder about our motives
and admire the many ways of our interactivity." Katja Öhrnberg
