On May 6th that the exhibition “Ainult rändaja tunneb end võõrana” opened at Juhan Kuusi Dokfoto Keskuses. The exhibition features the work of Claus Rohland, a recognized artist from Denmark. The collection showcases color photographs taken during the 1970s in diverse locations, including Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, and Syria.

The photographs are notable for the unique condition they are displayed in. Over the decades, the prints have sustained damage from humidity. This deterioration has fundamentally altered the images, transforming them into poetic and almost dreamlike visual records.

The display invites viewers to examine these historical artifacts, which bear the marks of time and environment. The selection of images provides a visual journey through various Middle Eastern locales from a past era. The exhibition serves as both a photographic retrospective and an exploration of how physical decay can contribute to an artistic interpretation of memory and displacement.

Visitors can view the collection at the Dokfoto Keskuses to observe Rohland’s unique handling of damaged archival material.
