‘IN REFERENCE TO A SUNNY PLACE’ photographer Elina Brotherus invited to a book signing and gallery talk with Curator Celina Lunsford to celebrate her retrospective at the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt

Elina Brotherus came to FFF once again: It was the perfect opportunity to learn background information on the exhibition during a gallery talk with the Finnish artist and Curator Celina Lunsford, and have her latest book SEBALDIANA. MEMENTO MORI signed personally following its presentation. It all took place on Saturday, 10 September, 2022, 3pm. In the book, she visits places in Corsica, mentioned by German author W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) in his texts.

She is known for her ironic self-portraits and is considered one of the most significant contemporary European photographers: FFF is currently dedicating the retrospective IN REFERENCE TO A SUNNY PLACE to the Finnish artist still through the middle of September. On display are works from the past 20 years which show how she repeatedly deals with the connections between the figure and landscape, roleplaying photographically with model and artist. Typically staging herself with humor and irony, she explores emotions and tensions: being alone and being together, being lost and being safe, love, sadness, and joy. Often it is her examination of various art movements from Romanticism to Fluxus that inspire.

Elina Brotherus, born in Helsinki, is considered one of the most significant contemporary photo artists in Europe. Her work has been exhibited internationally since 1997, is widely published and is part of renowned collections.

The Fotografie Forum Frankfurt (FFF) is one of the leading centers of photography in Europe. As an exhibition space, institution and event forum, the FFF deals with all aspects of photography.
