Spuses Petri Nuutinen and Marja Pirilä – are not ordinary representatives of the Finnish art scene. In a country famous for gadget-minded artists, they both have said their word in the development of contemporary image-based art.

Petri Nuutinen was one of the beginners of the pre-GPS photography in Europe in the 1990s, developping conceptions of the creative topographic photography and leaving behind the American traditional of the pictorial landscape. Marja Pirilä is the author of experiments with the camera obscura, that lead her to creating her signature series "Interior-Exterior". Among tens of today's artists, practicing the image of the outside world projected into closed environments, the works of Marja Pirilä stand out by their extreme sensibility, cosiness and emotional depth.

Moreover, both artists exhibit their signature works: Petri's "Places", where he studies different towns in the intersections of the global geographical grid.
