HELSINKI, FINLAND.-Helsinki Photography Festival 2005 to be continued... / jatkuu... presents new Finnish and British contemporary photography and video art. The festival is the oldest international photography event in Finland. The tenth edition is organised jointly by the Photographic Gallery Hippolyte and the British Council.

The centrepiece of the festival is an exhibition entitled to be continued... / jatkuu... which takes place at three venues in Helsinki - the Kunsthalle Helsinki, Photographic Gallery Hippolyte and the Process of the Finnish Museum of Photography– and consists of works by 18 UK and Finnish artists. The exhibition is curated by Mika Elo and Brett Rogers. Using photography, video, installation and painting, the works deal with the fundamental questions concerning the photographic medium – the interplay between objectivity and subjectivity, the real and constructed, narrative, time and space. The majority of the work are new and are shown in Finland for the first time.

The artists in the main exhibition at the Kunsthalle Helsinki are Marion Coutts, Simon Faithfull, Anne Hardy, Paul Harrison & Jonathan Wood, Heli Hiltunen, Sanna Kannisto, Pertti Kekarainen, Idris Khan, Mark Lewis, Caroline McCarthy, Jyri Pitkänen, Elina Saloranta, Jari Silomäki, Anu Suhonen, Sonja Suominen and Danny Treacy.
