Haab Gallery is pleased to present Oliver Haan’s first solo exhibition, ‘Waiting for Its Time’. This mystical and thought-provoking collection of photographs is on display in Aparaaditehas’s most unique exhibition space.
The exhibition can be visited during Gallery Night between 18:00 and 23:00, and thereafter by prior arrangement. The exhibition will remain open until 4 April 2027.
The photographic exhibition ‘Waiting for Its Time’ embodies a journey through the analogue world, a ceaseless struggle with materials that had become obsolete before the photographer was even born, and countless hours spent in the red glow of the darkroom. It is not the artist who has been waiting, but the photographic paper forgotten in a drawer for decades, tucked away in a corner of a storeroom or shed, out of sight; the photo enlarger; and all those cameras that have not seen film for many years. To give them another chance to take photographs once more, just as they were taken before the digital age.
Oliver Haan (1994) is an amateur photographer from the forests of Võru County who does not wish to call himself a photographer first and foremost, as he does not take photographs for the sake of exhibition. The artist’s first step into analogue photography came in 2012, when a Zenit camera crossed his path. Oliver stands out from conventional photographers by capturing moments with cameras older than himself, using exclusively expired photographic paper – and sometimes even film – and developing everything entirely by hand.
