Abstract
The exhibition Marras consists of photographic works produced by various analogous methods. In Finnish folklore, marras has signified, for example, the souls of the dead, soon-to-die people or signs of death, sometimes also the beings of the underworld Manala. Today, the word is mostly encountered in the word marraskuu (November). November is the month when the plants wither and nature falls to sleep for the winter. In their works, the artists of the Marras exhibition look extensively at the relationship between nature and human and the natural cycle, although some of the works in the exhibition talk more directly of the theme of death. The exhibition is partly held at the same time as the FLASH3 Biennale organised by the Finnish Society of Light Arts FLASH. The theme of the Biennale of Light Art this year is the connection between light and death.
