This catalogue exhibits portraits by Danish press photographer Per Morten Abrahamsen who, by manipulating and staging his motifs, creates an almost surreal universe. Abrahamsen's photographs are documentary, extremely subjective, theatrical and almost frank in their lack of distance between the photographer and subject.

This substantial catalogue with a stunning binding covering the exhibition of Eija-Liisa Ahtila’s work is the latest addition to a series on contemporary Finnish artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art KIASMA. It is also the first major showing of Ahtila’s works ever held in Finland. The show presents the span of her oevre and its main stages, from her projects in the 1980s to her most recent installations. Included here are screenings of her films in the Kiasma Theatre, where her most recent film Love is a Treasure will have its premiere. Her works from over a decade outline the image of an intellectually keen and accurate expert of visual narrative.

A showcase of this artist’s asphalt-treated photographs of architectural monuments, where there is a contrasting relationship between motif and craft, in the buildings, evoked through a literal attack on both the negatives and the exposed prints. The “landmarks” are Andersen’s motives, beautifully contrived recipes of his photographic library.

American photographer Lewis Baltz showing work from 1967 to the present (1995). The work is mostly black and white, and the body of 30 years work shown here are all photographs of exterior urban or semi-built environments in various states of decay. The sense of the cultural fatigue of the Western world is acute, and the work speaks quietly of dissolution rather than progress. Contains articles by Morten Salling and Denis Baudier.
