LAST MACHOS

Aki-Pekka Sinikoski: Last Machos

I have been extremely happy that so many of you have seen my exhibition and many of you have even made a day trip from Helsinki to Porvoo to see my exhibition.
Today I even got a message from one of the visitors that she and her father had visited the exhibition and both of them were so touched that they couldn’t leave the exhibition with dry eyes. Another visitor told me the he had laughed hysterically there together with his dad and daughter.

…What more can I ask for?!? Strong emotional reactions with full scale. Thank you so much for all this wonderful feedback ?

Next week is the last week of my Last Machos exhibition; it will be there only until November 27th. Gallery will be open from Tuesday to Sunday. So be sure not to miss it!

2 x SINIKOSKI + ART RESIDENCY

Sinikoski & Sinikoski: Ghosts Watching Over Me

Hello there! I will be working at an art recidency here in Northern Finland in July. The first part I will work here alone. The last week I will be working together with my daughter on this photo series we are making together. It’s called Ghosts Watching Over Me.

I started to take these photos when my daughter was only four. I think this series is dealing with the relationship between father and daughter and their fears. When my daughter was younger she was afraid of totally other things than today when she is already eight years old.

We are really proud of this photo finished today. We hope it is important for you as well. Take care, you are important!

BLUE EYES

“She said she don’t want to show her face because her eyes were feeling blue and she had left them at home. I said it’s alright and that I sometimes felt the same.”

BRAND NEW GHOST

Brand new photos from our shooting trip. These photos are part of a photo series called Ghosts Watching Over Me. We are making it together with my daughter.
We started to take these photos when my daughter was only four. We both have changed a lot during these years but I still think these photos are dealing with the relationship between a father and a daughter and our fears.

All these photos are made with ❤️ & ? so I hope you enjoy them as well!

PHOTO SHOOTING TRIP

Sinikoski Photo Shooting Trip

Yes! I have packed my family and some of my photo gears. All of us are so ready to hit the road! It’s going to be an epic shooting trip with the best crew ever! Our friends will stay at our place to take care of our flowers while we will take care of our selves and the ghost studies we are doing together with my daughter. Wish us luck!

There are things in this life that just needs to be done. This photo shooting for Maija was one of them. There wasn’t really a budget or even time for it but all of us just really wanted to do it. And I’m super happy we did it!
What a beautiful day!

Peace & Love, Peki Sinikoski

BYE BYE ENDLESS SUMMER

Bye bye Endless Summer! My exhibition in Ii is now wrapped and gone but memories and photos will stay. I have got so much positive feedback from this exhibition that it really gives me a boost for my forthcoming projects.

When I was in Ii I was stopped on the street by locals who were inspired by my photos. The most absurd situation was when I went for the first time to Jäppisen Baari (local bar) after the opening ­and before I had even entered the place one wonderful man shouted “PEKIIIIII!” and wanted to shake my hand and thank me for the exhibition.
And even now when I’m back in Helsinki, some people have called me just to talk with me about the pictures. Several people has also told me that they have never seen an exhibition like this in Ii, as all the time they have walked next to the exhibition area there has been people looking at my pictures. So probably I don’t exaggerate if I say the exhibition was a success also from the perspective of community art 😀
For my part I would like to say THANK YOU!!!

It was truly a pleasure!

XOXO, Peki

P.S. These photos are taken in Ii between 2am ­4am during one night I tried to work with Photoshop. But probably you can imagine why I couldn’t stay inside staring at the computer all night 😉

OPENING WAS A BLAST

Oh dear, sano John Deere. It’s been hectic up here. First of all: yesterday’s opening for Endless Summer was a blast! For me it felt like half of the village was there. I’m super happy with the result and pretty damn proud of the exhibition. I’ll write you more about that later.

Yesteday, before my own exhibition opening I had also a great workshop for 15 photographers from all over Finland and today I’m working as judge for Valto Pernu Photo Maraton. On their Facebook page you can find my latest interview made by YLE Oulu.

So yes, it has been an insanely busy week but LIFE IS GOOD!
