Known for

New Age

In the cold northern light, the hours and the days of two friends, the mechanisms of daily life and the expectations of a decadent reality which reveals itself in the dawns and sunsets, in the nights spent drinking and the groggy mornings-after. The Finnish artist Matti Harju offers himself in this self-portrait of (his) life, perhaps involuntarily placid and sweet.
