Great great great review about my Last Machos exhibition. And no worries if you are not good at reading this in Swedish. You still have time to visit the exhibition by yourselves and make your own review about it. The exhibition is open until November 27th at Galleria Vanha Kappalaisentalo.
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!
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I have started an Instagram account.

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!
Only one night before the announcement of this year’s Finlandia prize winner. Here at our Studio we are chearing for Laura Lindstedt as she has written a masterfull novel: Oneiron. Jussi Karjalainen & I did the cover design for it. We tried our best to make it as masterfull as the book. We both are happy with the result. Hope you like it too.
BTW, I strongly recommend you to read the book. Half a year ago when we worked on this project, we were talking with Jussi about Laura winning the Finlandia prize with this artwork and after that Oneiron will be published in more than twenty countries. Now after her nomination for the prize we are on the right track. We strongly believe that she will become one of the hottest prospects in Finnish literature.
Good luck Laura! We have our fingers crossed!

Epic Failing is a series of duets by choreographer Maija Hirvanen and a number of collaborating artists. The artistic substrate for the duets is the concept of failure.
I took the photos for Maija. AN EPIC FAIL!!!!!! Why? Because I really truly tried to fail with the photos, as the title suggest but look at this one for example. Isn’t it just perfect?!?
XOXO, Peki
ENDLESS SUMMER is the exhibition in public spaces in Ii. Because I’m so super happy with the result you can find it now online as well: www.sinikoski.com
YLE (the Finnish Broadcasting Company) made a radio interview with me working here in Ii/Kulttuurikauppila. It’s in Finnish so, hyvät herrat ja rouvat, tytöt ja pojat sekä kaikki muutkin immeiset: Jos haluatte juoda kupillisen kahvia ja kuunnella kun tää nuori ukkeli turinoi vanhemmista ukkeleista ja täällä Iissä olemisesta, niin nyt siihen olis elämänne tilaisuus. Ei muuta kuin kahvi tassuun ja äänet täysille.

The Norwegian indie mammoth, The Megaphonic Thrift has just released their new album Sun Stare Sound. The cover art is from my forthcoming art series Ghosts Watching Over Me. Graphic Design is done by my favourite graphic designer in Berlin, Mr. Petri “Blank Blank” Henriksson.

Last week was ”something else” for me and and my Superkasi fellow Jussi Karjalainen. We had some epic moments while working in Iceland for WÖYH!’s forthcoming album. During last week I shot all the album art works, promo photos and even the music video for them. –O’boy, the Icelandic weather was quite something: rain, heavy snowstorms, and the hardest wind I have ever experienced. And YES, we still managed to shoot in all of those weather conditions.
I would definitely like to thank WÖYH!’s band members Jussi Hyyrynen (YUP) and Antti ”Hyrde” Hyyrynen (Stam1na) for their super high work ethic. They didn’t complain even when we were shooting on the shore line when it was raining iced water while the wind was blowing more than 22 meter/second and the windflaws reached 37 meter/second. In that weather there was such strong emotions in the air that probably even Joukko Turkka would have been proud of us.
We can start with the cover photos I took for the WÖYH!’s next album (Dwzyrek) and to their first single (Kamppailu merellä). The ”Hemingwayish” making of photo is taken by Jussi. More stuff coming soon, so stay tuned.
I wish you a lot of sunshine, a mug full of good coffee and a super good day!
XXX, Peki Sinikoski
