Work of “Inner Landscapes” project
Inner Landscapes project is a collaboration project by Japanese ceramic artists Satoko Sai + Tomoko Kurahara, and photographer Marja Pirilä together with nurse Ritva Muurinen. Based on interviews the artists had with local old people in living in Turku, they will create an exhibition at Turku Castle featuring ceramics, photographs and video that will present a very personal take on Turku's history and how it relates to the present day. This exhibition will travel to municipal old people's home in Turku, where the models of this project live.
