Mother Said - Niina Lehtonen Braun

Over a period of five years, Niina Lehtonen Braun collected motherly advice, views of life and warnings for her Mother Said project. The artist translated these contributions – which ranged from loving, concerned and funny to cold, cynical and strange – into multimedia collages. Her visual interpretations overwrite established convictions and open up space for revision. Mother Said is a collective memory of the formative years and dives in to give an up close and personal view of everyday lives. Various combinations of the individual works were previously exhibited in Berlin, Stockholm and Helsinki.
