Excerpt:
Three figures clad in blue burkhas make a circle in the snow with their footsteps. Five others, in identical attire, walk in a birch forest in the springtime, then in a yellow rape field, and later on a rocky seashore. Finally there are more than ten of them walking on an ice-covered lake.
Usually we are accustomed to seeing burkha-covered women in completely different surroundings - in pictures taken in hot and dusty places.
Or actually, we are not used to seeing them anywhere - certainly not in a Finnish landscape. What are they doing there?
Burkhas in Finnish nature are part of the Finlandia exhibition by artist Rosa Liksom, which has opened in Stockholm.
"I have used women in burkhas in my comic strips already from the 1990s", Rosa Liksom says. From there they came to my paintings, and now into videos and photographs.
"When painted or drawn, the image of a burkha has not raised any passions at all", Liksom says.
