Oodi Library - Limited Edition of 7 Photograph

Oodi Library is situated in the center of Helsinki, just a stone's throw from the main train station. It sits there like a giant cruise ship, its bow jutting out into the cityscape as if it had just been tossed here by a tsunami. Visitors are greeted by an atmosphere of spaciousness as soon as they enter the building, but it is not until they have walked through the entire building that the many possibilities that Helsinki's public living space offers its users become apparent. In this library you can use a recording studio, a sewing machine, a 3D printer, a musical instrument, you can go to the movies, have lunch, drink coffee, rest in comfortable armchairs and lounge areas, work on the computer or read a book. After spending a few hours in this wonderful and extraordinary public building, I was overcome by a deep melancholy because I have always missed such a place in my hometown Berlin.
