PYYNTI

Pyynti is a photo exhibition combining photography and dance. The exhibition is a collection of photos Antti J. Leinonen took on the professional fishers around Bothnian Bay (FIN) during nine years. Dance artist Ella Posti has created a live dance performance to go alongside the photos. Posti and Leinonen are both from Northern Finland and share a personal connection to the sceneries portrayed in the photos as well as the fishing culture. Posti comes from a family of fishermen and explores herself as part of that continuum through her own craft within the solo piece.
