Hand-coloured photograph from the series How to Be a Twig, 1990s.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The work of Einar Tiits (1963\u20132016) stands among the most significant recent discoveries in Estonian photographic art. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Tiits used handmade colour filters, gouache, and ink pens to create a vividly grotesque style that transformed photography into a vibrant circus. With methods innovative for his time, he boldly reimagined the human body, often placing himself before the camera as a fragile and vulnerable, yet self-ironically defiant model. He also emerges as a lyricist of nature, whose desire to experience the world from a plant\u2019s perspective feels strikingly contemporary in the context of today\u2019s eco-philosophical thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Curator: <strong>Annika Haas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Open: <b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">6 June <\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2013\u00a0<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">1 August 2026 at 2\u20138 PM.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"row oi-gallery oi-gallery-1\" >\n<li class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TIITS_02.jpg\" class=\"gallery-thumb__url\" data-mh=\"gallery\">\n                            <span class=\"gallery-thumb__image card-img-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TIITS_02-250x250.jpg\" alt=\"TIITS_02\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span>\n                            \n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TIITS_03-1.jpg\" class=\"gallery-thumb__url\" data-mh=\"gallery\">\n                            <span class=\"gallery-thumb__image card-img-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TIITS_03-1-250x250.jpg\" alt=\"TIITS_03 (1)\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span>\n                            \n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TIITS_16.jpg\" class=\"gallery-thumb__url\" data-mh=\"gallery\">\n                            <span class=\"gallery-thumb__image card-img-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TIITS_16-250x250.jpg\" alt=\"TIITS_16\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span>\n                            \n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n<li class=\"col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-md-3\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/KYT3068-1.jpg\" class=\"gallery-thumb__url\" data-mh=\"gallery\">\n                            <span class=\"gallery-thumb__image card-img-top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linnamuuseum.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/KYT3068-1-250x250.jpg\" alt=\"_KYT3068 (1)\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/span>\n                            \n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work of Einar Tiits (1963\u20132016) stands among the most significant recent discoveries in Estonian photographic art.
