OBSCURUM – a contemporary photography exhibition focused on Venice

About OBSCURUM – a contemporary photography exhibition focused on Venice.

OBSCURUM is a contemporary exhibition of black and white Scandinavian photography focused on Venice by Eva Ohtonen (FIN) and Katarina Rothfjell (SWE).

The photographs, taken over the past two years, have been selected from the digital and analogue archives of both artists.

The deep impact of “black” fascinates and emphasizes, while light tends to seem limitless and almost blinds.

Black and white photography represents the most essential “colours” and highlights a range of different subjects that surround us: events, nature, landscape, reportage, portrait, and street photography.

Black and white images constitute a rhythmic composition. In our colourful and constantly moving world, it seems even more important to the two photographers to train the human eye to observe works in monochrome.
