letting light into my room.
Beyond
photography
Jaakko Heikkilä realizes photographic art ‘beyond photography’ - citing influences from the romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich combined with an enlightened rationalism of Max Ernst and the surrealism of Salvador Dali. Yet at the same time his work defies classification. He moves us by touching wounds of people and cultures all over the world.

Books
There is no other way. The way forward is a mystery. Dreams are movement. The future is in our blood. Titian knew how to paint black. A man rises out of blackness.
