About the Item

Handmade silver gelatin print. The fibre-based photograph is tea-toned, stamped, signed and numbered in pencil on sheet verso. Size 15 x 22 cm (5.9" x 8.6"), edition of 25. About the artist: Born in Helsinki in 1978, Mikael Siirilä approaches photography as a slow-paced and reflective practice. He collects observations from his life and travels and works in the darkroom to recontextualise them with recurring reflections on self, absence, presence and identity. Mikael Siirilä's reductionist images build on details and fragments. His subjects appear lost in thought and disconnected from time and identifiable places. His visual style can be recognised by the pronounced film grain, dominating black elements and image edges as a source of mystery and meaning. Mikael Siirilä works exclusively with black & white film and the silver gelatin process. The darkroom allows him to approach the photograph as a handmade object. Small variations in print editions reveal the artist's touch. Also, notably, Mikael Siirilä prefers to create photographs in relatively small size. For him, a photograph's true nature builds on the '1-hour photos' of his youth. Smaller size invites the viewer near. Studying the image becomes intimate, like reading a piece of poetry.
