Just small hiccups
Finlande
2015
For Anni HANÉN, the series “Just small hiccups” is a way of telling her child about our heritage, things that can only be felt, meaningful things. The series is based on feelings that arose when the photographer moved back to her childhood home with her family. Her memories are colored by how we feel and imagine life, its colors, flavors, fears and tragedies, not forgetting the good, the bad and the authority in life.
Such “photo-theatrical” moments, built with her child, join the experiences of both –her own past and her son’s childhood– through a visual dialogue between mother and son, past and present.
