Despite challenges related to finances or changes in people\u2019s place of residence, Nieminen has found that the inhabitants and communities of Finland share a strong sense of humanity, hope and humour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the sparsely populated and rapidly urbanised Finland, the growth of urban areas and rural depopulation have created some tension and, at times, even a wide gap between different lifestyles. Just like anywhere else, the rapid changes in global economy and immigration resulting from various causes are also reflected on small communities on the fringes of Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photographer Joel Nieminen (1985) was born in Helsinki and studied and lived in the Netherlands. Extensive, long-term photographic projects are characteristic of his work. The key elements in his pieces include exploring the environment and phenomena of the time. \u201cGoing in Loops \u2013 Journeys to Home 2011\u20132021\u201d has been exhibited in various forms at venues such as the Finnish Museum of Photography and the Lapinlahti Park in Helsinki. Nieminen was selected to the exhibition programme of Kunsthalle Turku through an open application process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the COVID-19 situation, Kunsthalle Turku will not organise an opening for the exhibition.
