When in Pori…
This Gothic Revival mausoleum, built by industrialist Fritz Arthur Jusélius for his tuberculosis-stricken daughter Sigrid and designed by architect Josef Stenbäck, showcases a unique artistic evolution. Originally decorated with Akseli Gallen-Kallela frescoes that deteriorated in Finland’s harsh climate, the artwork was replaced with bronze reliefs by Emil Cedercreutz, then finally restored with new frescoes by Jorma Gallen-Kallela (Akseli’s son) in the 1930s—creating a touching monument to both paternal love and artistic perseverance.
Satakunta Museum
Founded in 1888 during Finland’s national awakening, Satakunta Museum has grown from a local heritage collection to a major regional museum operating across six locations in Pori. Now part of the unified City of Pori museum services since 2021, it continues its 135-year mission of preserving Satakunta’s cultural history.

Portrait of Matti Rautaniemi, scholar of religion and researcher, at the publication event of Porvoon Kipinä magazine’s fourth issue, ”Tuonilmaiset.”
He is exhibiting this peculiar ”I have seen things…” look. Maybe he’s having flashbacks from the time he had to spend ”quality time” barefoot in Kuoppa’s (The Pit) ground cellar chapel for so long that a snail managed to crawl over the toes of both feet. This happened when Matti was working on an article (Katabasis – A Night Side Travelogue) that was published in the first issue of Porvoon Kipinä, ”Kekri.”

Vodou – Kunst der Kunst und Haiti exhibition, Berlin
Bizango are clandestine Vodou-linked societies in Haiti that function informally as judicial bodies and enforcers of communal norms. They are historically influential in rural communities, often feared for their esoteric power to punish, shapeshift, or induce zombification-like states. Their origins lie in West African secret society traditions, and they are culturally associated—sometimes controversially—with forms of sorcery or dark magic.

”The Joker”
An impromptu night-time photograph of Tomi Kiljunen, an urban ninja and occasional ”crazy wisdom” practitioner.
Notice the demented, almost diabolical expression on the subject’s face.
