Abstract:
Niko Luoma has played a key role internationally for the past twenty years with his experiments in photographic abstraction, combining multiple exposures on the same negative by using light as a raw material. His uniqueness is based around his system-based experiments where the negative becomes a record for its own realization, for the compositions of overlapping planes of color and dimensionality. His analogue working method incorporates the properties of chance into the process of his working, using it as fuel to enhance his attraction to the unknown. Influenced by order, structure, constitution and modification of space and the ideas of sound, flux and velocity.<br>

He is represented in the international collections, including those of Finnish National Gallery (Helsinki, FI), Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki, FI), Danish National Museum of Photography (Copenhagen, DK) and Borusan Contemporary (Istanbul, TR). His monographs “And Time Is No Longer an Obstacle” was published by Hatje Cantz Verlag in 2012 and “For Each Minute – Sixty-Five Seconds” was published be Hatje Cantz Verlag in 2021.
