The installation Silver Lining consists of three interconnected works, according to official sources. It is created by artist Senja Penttilä Sollén and runs from April 10 to May 5, with an opening event on April 10 at 12:00. The exact location of the exhibition has not been disclosed.
The three works include a suspended metal frame with a cyanotype where water pulses behind glass, a cyanotype on fabric submerged in water that changes color over time, and melted tin that visually flows down from the ceiling. The water is held in a container enclosed by a metal frame, and a metal frame surrounds the works to create a silvery glow. The size of the installation and specific materials used in the cyanotype processes remain unspecified.
Senja Penttilä Sollén described the installation as representing the present while carrying fragments of her past. She noted that the works coexist as a unified installation and complement each other. Silver Lining is an expression that describes the visual effect created when sunlight hits a dark cloud, evoking a bright silvery glow, she said, adding that it serves as a metaphor for her past and trauma with water. According to the artist, she has grown as an adult and is now capable of comforting herself as a child, who still feels fear and despair under the water surface. She works with water in this photographic process, pushing the boundaries with the images and herself. In this installation, viewers can choose to go under one of the works, immerse themselves in them, or walk beside them. It is unclear how the melted tin component interacts with the other works or if there is an admission fee for the exhibition.
