Description: This publication is the first volume of a series covering Tuija Lindström's work from 1980 until today. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Hasselblad Foundation and the Finnish Museum of Photography inHelsinki, where it will be shown in the spring 2014 as part of Lindström's first major retrospective in Finland. The second volume in the series will be published then. The photographs in this exhibition originate from 1980-87. We see here the iconic pictures and many that have never been shown before. While studying at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design (1981-84), Lindström experimented with photographic materials and went beyond traditional expectations and limitations. Inspiration came from surrealist and avant-garde art and literature. Pictorialism's gentle and painterly imagery is also a strong influence in her pictures from this period. Exhibition: Hasselblad Center, Gothenburg, Sweden (25.8.-14.10.2012).
