TalkSeePhotography: Contemporary Love

by Marge Monko (Estonian Union of Photography Artists, Foku) 

Part of Estonia Now, celebrating 100 years of Estonia

As part of Estonia Now, TalkSeePhotography hosts a screening of artists' moving image curated by multidisciplinary artist Marge Monko (EST) and followed by a conversation about contemporary love.

Marge Monko is an Estonian artist working in photography, video and installation. Most of her works link to some historical events and are influenced by psychoanalysis, feminism and theory of visual culture. Her recent projects are inspired by commercial displays – show windows and interiors that are often borrowing elements from fine art and classical architecture.
