Last week, Faces 1918<\/a>\u00a0opened at the National Museum in Helsinki, featuring portraits from 100 years ago, reflecting everyday life through portraiture during the ongoing tension the Finnish Civil War.<\/p>\n

To complement and provide context for this era, production design students from Aalto University designed and produced a handful of exhibits showing the strife of living in wartime. The exhibits vary in their media and form. Most striking is a recreated section of house from the era, seen at the top of this post, envisioned as stripped of possessions in the wake of an ongoing battle. A window shows a bleak, seemingly war-torn scene ”outside” the house.<\/p>\n

Another exhibit deals with a less tangible consequence of war: fear. A sculpted pillow shows the impression of a head on one side, and the hollow shape of a pistol, cleverly hidden beneath the pillow, on the other side.\u00a0The surprising piece holds its secret well, requiring the viewer to step around the display case to find the reveal.<\/p>\n
