Mothers and Daughters

A central theme of Autumn Sonata is the relationship between mother and daughter. Inspired by the opera, we started looking for mothers and daughters to pose as models for photographer Meeri Koutaniemi asking them to tell their story. Over 1,300 applications were filed, of which 11 pairs were finally selected for this unique photography project. The results were on display in the main foyer of the Opera House.

Concept / exhibition design, for Finnish National Opera and Ballet.
