My cultural experience in Lappeenranta 4.2.
We
visited an art exhibition in the Regional Museum of South
Karelia with my friend
Sakke. The exhibition was
called Colour is
light - To the east from Lake Saimaa by colour photography (Väri
on valoa - Saimaalta itään värivalokuvin).
I didn't have big
expectations about it but I kept an open mind and wanted to see how
it was possible to take coloured photos at the start of the 20th
century.
My
first impression was surprised. I didnt expect to see pictures with
so up-to-date-looking quality and colours. For some of the photos it
was really hard to believe that they were taken over a hundred years
ago.
The
photos themselves were not really mind-blowing if
the quality is not taken into account. Some of them were beautiful,
but mostly they didn’t really evoke any emotions, so I guess I had
pretty neutral feeling about the exhibit. We were just learning about
the First World War in our history course so from that aspect the
pictures were pretty interesting.
Overall
we had a nice little trip giving some variety from ordinary, usually
mostly boring weekends.
