Think of Finland / Laboratory

ARTS / Feb 2012 – Laboratory’s series kicked off with an exhibition by the prize-winning British documentary photographer Martin Parr, who used to work as a professor at the Helsinki School of Art and Design in the early 1990s. The series of photographs, called Think of Finland, was created after Parr visited Finland having been away for twenty years. In August 2011, Parr traveled from Helsinki to Oulu photographing small Finnish oddities and the tension between traditions and modern times.
