Art: Xeniya Balsara

By: Sabine van Gameren

During our work as music journalist we meet loads of people on the road. Some you run into every month at least, some you see just at certain events which you share interests in. Xeniya Balsara is a photographer living in Helsinki that we often ran into at Metalorgy festival (end of the year a new edition is coming) and at several concerts of bands like Fear of Domination and Turmion Kätilöt.

And when we heard that his last band was going to be the main subject of Xeniya’s exhibition we thought we should definitely share this with all of you. The exhibition takes place at Suvilahti, the same terrain were Tuska Festival takes place. At the exhibition you can find live photo’s as well as pictures that have been taken offstage. If you are a fan of the band this is definitely a must see, Tempelores attended the opening of the exhibition and recommends to go have a look for yourself. The exhibition is still on till 13 November and if you are interested in buying the photo’s you can contact the Xeniya.
