Lyy Raitala: Nesting

Photo North – Northern Photographic Centre / Exhibitions

5.9.–20.12.2026

In the Foyer Gallery, Lyy Raitala explores the coexistence of humans and animals in the built environment through staged photography in her exhibition Nesting. The work examines the interspecies rituals of nesting and settling – their differences, similarities and layers. Nesting appears as a survival strategy but also as an intimate gesture that unites humans and animals – as a need to protect themselves, to find a rhythm and a place to be. The work moves between control and surrender, care and instinct, structure and chance, pondering who really builds and for whom.

The exhibition opening is held on 4th of September, 17:00 to 19:00. The opening starts at the main gallery. Welcome!
