The Seven Brothers by Aleksis Kivi is regarded as the first novel in Finnish.
The photo manipulated portraits of the exhibition remind characters of it:
seven brothers, two dogs, a cat, horse and roosters.
The portraits have look-alikes in the real world.
Why do they have millions of supporters?
Wouldn't world deserve better?
Juhani lives in Russia. He bosses, intimidates and is shame-sensitively fierce.
Tuomas lives in Iran. He attempts to be principled, cagey, stable and wise.
Aapo lives in Turkey. He enjoys attention, telling stories and he is thoughtful.
Simeoni lives in North Korea. He is joyless, fragile and lacks sense of humor.
Timo lives in Syria. He is hard-headed, simple and straightforward follower.
Lauri lives in China. He keeps calm, is a bit of a loner and serious but dexterous.
Eero lives in Hungary. As a sarcastic dissenter he likes to exaggerate and mock.
Valko is a Venezuelan gelding. It is loyal to own thoughts, and won't shove over.
Matti is an aged Belarusian cat. It is Juhani's favorite and it enjoys being alone.
Killi is an American dog. It barks at everyone, is stubborn, selfish and shameless.
Kiiski is an unyielding Israeli dog. It is afraid and therefore bullies everything.
Roosters are pecking in Myanmar, Republic of the Congo and also elsewhere.
Thanks to Erki's hair.
