Emotional Polaroids: A Collage Series
In his latest art piece, Juho delves into the intricate and diverse spectrum of human emotions through collaged photos. Combining the vibrant palette of life with the stark contrasts of monochrome, Juho aims to convey an inherent imbalance within emotions. Fascinated by the unpredictability and varied interpretations of emotions, Juho endeavors to capture these elusive feelings through the lens of his camera and the collage technique, allowing viewers to interpret the visual narratives he constructs.
Utilizing polaroids for their raw authenticity and immediacy, inspired by the innovative approaches of artists like David Hockney and Joyce Neimanas, Juho employs projectors and dramatic lighting reminiscent of Linus and His Camera and Oswaldo Cepeda, infusing his portraits with a dramatic quality. Presenting two distinct projects within this series, each encapsulates a different emotional landscape. One collage reveals layers of concealed vulnerability beneath vibrant colors, while the other conveys the intricate interplay of conflicting emotions through monochromatic tones, reflecting the essence of ambivalence.
Through this exploration of emotions in photography, Juho seeks to prompt reflection on the complex tapestry of human experience and the profound influence of emotions on our perception of the world.
