"Estonia Through 100 Pairs of Eyes" Photography Exhibit
Saturday, September 22 at 6pm, the Estonia Through 100 Pairs of Eyes exhibit will be opened at Tartu College. Following the opening, the exhibit will be available to view Monday-Friday from 10am-5pm and during events, other times upon request. Our project gives a visual overview of Estonia's story told by 100 Estonians and Estonian-spirited people ages 100 to 1 years, through their portraits, eyes, and emotions. The oldest - 100-year-old- was born the same year as the Republic of Estonia, in 1918. The youngest was born on February 24, 2017. There is only one person for each year of the Republic of Estonia! In parallel with the portraits, we introduce the country of Estonia, as a place, where we are from, and where we live. This way, views of the most well-known Estonian places (the Old Town of Tallinn), buildings (farmhouses), emotions (the song festival), accomplishments (e-Estonia), and phenomena (bogs) are also portrayed. This gives those who do not know Estonia well, an idea of our country's culture, nature, technical accomplishments, cuisine, and traditions. The two visuals, the portraits and atmosphere, are tied together by short texts in Estonian and English. Idea and concept: Kaire van der Toorn-Guthan and Toomas Volkmann. Exhibition curator: Kaire van der Toorn-Guthan. Graphic design: Kaire van der Toorn-Guthan. Portraits: Toomas Volkmann. Photos of Estonian atmospheres: Tõnu Runnel and Tõnu Tunnel.
