Vastapuu – jäämistö at Hippolyte Korjaamo until 18th Dec
Vastapuu – jäämistö exhibition delineates a portrait of Heikki and Sylvi, who founded Leinonen’s father-in-law’s home farm called Vastapuu. It consists of mainly new work photographed between 2019-2022 and explores the personal nature of memory and the relationship with the farm’s history. Leinonen started building a body of work about the farm when it was left to her family upon the death of her father-in-law.
Vastapuu taking new shapes in 2022
Last year I took part in the Photobook Dummy Workshop taught by artist paula roush and organized by Aarhus Photobook Week. During the workshop my Vastapuu project took a shape of an artist book, which I am very excited about and I am working with this form further during 2022. There will also be an exhibition of Vastapuu project with new works later this year.

First part of my ongoing long-term project Vastapuu is on show in Gallery Valve in Oulu from August 13th till September 20th. The project is made possible by Kone Foundaton. More about the project here.
