Thread. The photography of Elina Brotherus

Finnish photography and video artist Elina Brotherus was born in 1972 in Helsinki.

Her early work dealt with personal yet universal experiences, the presence and absence of love.

In her series The New Painting (2000-2005), Brotherus probed the relation of photography to art history and found inspiration in the iconography of classical painting.

"As I mentioned earlier I had engaged myself a lot with the ‘instruction art’ of the 1960s and 1970s. When I discovered Erwin Wurm’s One Minute Sculptures they fascinated me in similar ways."

🧵 Events to watch out for in 2024.

A century-old territorial dispute deepened by the discovery of oil is boiling over between neighbors Guyana and Venezuela.

Potential military confrontation looms over Essequibo, a mineral-rich territory.

As China’s growth has slowed, tensions boiling over Taiwan, and the US continues to limit Chinese access to advanced technologies, the “new cold war” rhetoric has hardened.

Expect Washington and Beijing to woo the “middle powers” of the global south.

Voters, and the courts, will give their verdicts on Donald Trump.

But the consequences will be global, affecting everything from economy to military support for Ukraine.

One could say Vladimir Putin’s fate depends more on American voters than Russian ones.

Some other #WC2022 facts:

During a match against Qatar last week, England’s 19-year-old Jude Bellingham became the first player born in the 21st century to score a goal in a World Cup match.

The Qatar tournament also features the first set of full siblings to compete for different teams, with Iñaki Williams representing Ghana and his younger brother, Nico Williams, making his World Cup debut for Spain.

Canadian coach John Herdman is the first manager in World Cup history to have led both a men's and a women's team at the tournaments, having previously coached the New Zealand women’s team in the 2007 and 2011 women’s World Cups.
