She is known for her affecting and ironic self-portraits and is considered one of the most important contemporary European photographers: the FFF is dedicating a comprehensive retrospective to the award-winning Finnish artist Elina Brotherus. Large-format works from various series and videos show Brotherus’ preoccupation with the figure and landscape, her photographic role-playing with model and artist as well as her responsive, sometimes humorous examination of art movements from Romanticism to Fluxus.
