Tigerstedt Block

The floral patterns in the background act as a symbolic appreciation of the inverted T-shaped sign and history of the building.

About this work

The Tigerstedt is a piece that began as a double-exposure photograph. The flowers inside the T-shaped sign are double exposed on film, taken from the flowerpots in the same location as the sign. I wanted to honour this sign and location because part of the building was built for a photography studio for Albert Tigerstedt, a local photographer, in the 1930s. I marvel at the sign’s Modernist elements, that it still exists, and I wanted to create a piece that centres on it. The floral patterns in the background act as a symbolic appreciation of the inverted T-shaped sign and history of the building.
