Violer er blå

Beskrivning

The work Violer er blå (violets are blue) is based on inherited photo albums and poetry books from the artist’s family. Poetry books were a tradition among young girls until the 1990s and were used to collect greetings in the form of poems from friends and relatives.
By showing photographs and poems in a new context, Hammer Tiittanen explores how the women in her family have been portrayed throughout a century, as well as what roles, values ​​and expectations we inherit from our mothers.
