Johanna Adojaan (EE, b. 1996) is inspired by abstract and magical thinking, intimate aspects of the human experience, and the biological and social drivers of human behavior. She holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Fine Art Photography from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, Belgium. Adojaan works as a photographer, a graphic designer, an illustrator, a second-hand treasure dealer, and a ceramic artist.
At Foto Tallinn, Adojaan’s exhibit consists of 16 black and white photographs taken in Jingdezhen, China, which have been transferred onto translucent porcelain plates. The photographs and their ‘carriers’ were born in the same environment – the world’s porcelain capital, which has shaped ceramic production, customs, and culture for centuries. The artist’s tender images, coupled with the fragility of porcelain, invite the viewer to consider and observe a range of work processes, rhythms, subtle shifts, as well as the gradual wear and tear of materials.
