Jarmo Koponen's photos from the collection Someplace show places that have made him stop. They have felt significant, each in their own way. These are pictures primarily of time, place and atmosphere, but also of what Koponen finds aesthetically interesting. He does not try to tell a story, but through large-scale prints and details invites the viewer to stop and experience these works, and the places represented by the works, in their own way.

Jarmo Koponen is a Korpilahti-born Finnish-American visual artist who, after 30 years spent abroad, currently lives and works in Jyväskylä. He has had exhibitions both in the USA and in Finland. His main means of expression are currently photography and large-scale mixed media works based on woodcuts.
