BEATS PER MINUTE

Period of three months after personal tragedy, I documented my life, resulting in this work, “BEATS PER MINUTE,” a book of approximately 120 pages. The book is a documentary portrayal of the life of a young male from Helsinki, encompassing loss, emotions, hope, death and community. It also serves as a snapshot of the young adults living in today’s Helsinki. Period of time, 90 days, put in form of a book as an only way I could say anything.

Death is one of the main themes of the book, not in and of itself, but in its effects on me, and my daily life. Everyday things, like cigarettes and food seem important and impactful in a world of loss. Beats per minute Is shot on color, because it’s dark.
