Downtown Tampere is a photographic work made along Hämeenkatu, the city’s central axis and historic firebreak. The street functions here as a fixed perspective through which time appears suspended rather than progressive.
Working within a limited stretch of the street, the photographs attend to moments of stillness: snow, emptied space, and pauses in movement. These images do not document change, but examine how urban space can hold multiple temporal layers at once—past structures, present use, and a sense of quiet anticipation.
The work positions the street as a threshold between eras, where repetition and restraint allow the city to be read as both historical residue and lived present.
