NEXT 2025: ‘Difficult Objects’ Ruudu Ulas

Riga Photography Biennial—NEXT 2025 ‘Seeking the Latest in Photography!’ award-winner Ruudu Ulas’s solo exhibition ‘Difficult Objects’

'Difficult Objects' explores tangible and psychological intersections through photography. Each work navigates the space between the familiar and the unknown, challenging us to reflect on our personal relationships with ubiquitous public and private structures. This exhibition seeks to depict the ways in which urban spaces and domestic spheres collide and merge, leaving strangely shaped gaps in which the imagination attempts to interpret connections.

Curated by Inga Brūvere.
