Meet the Artists Miia Kallio and Otto Santala in their joint exhibition Esteitä - Obstacles in Laterna Magica's Tile and Cellar galleries.
The exhibition Obstacles consists of ceramic sculptures, oil paintings, and video works. Miia Kallio is a visual and ceramic artist, focusing on the use of Finnish red clay, or "wild clay" in her work. In her artworks, Kallio explores the obstacles that humans themselves construct and that society sets for the individual. Otto Santala, a visual artist, also uses photography and moving images in his expression. Otto Santala’s theme is people who have fallen outside of society's safety net or were never within the reach of it in the first place.
