Marja Pirilä (b. 1957) has at least a hundred of her large photographs in her retrospective exhibition "Carried by Light" on two floors in TR1 Art Hall in Tampere. The exhibition is beautiful, meditative, serene and partly even colourful. Downstairs is full works made by the camera obscura technique, which is the key idea of the exhibition. In these photographs the outside scene has been projected on the walls on a room. The light of the sky, shadows of the trees and the whole ambiance has been transmitted to he closed room. People in the rooms seem to be dreaming (because of the long shutter time they have to stay motionless). In the Milavida-series the trees reflecting on the walls of the empty rooms seem to move and whisper, a mysterious light is peeping from behind the doors. On the mezzanine you can admire the colourful and gentle photos of flowers and plants from the series Herbarium. It´s fun to try out camera obscura effect in different objects using this technique, like in several water buckets. Marja Pirilä and Petri Nuutinen have made these objects together.
