At the core of the exhibition is the idea of temporality, movement, data and the inherent ability of printmaking to reproduce and record these. The works deal with the need to record a fleeting time and the impossibility to fully capture the original events behind the memories. The works in the exhibition have been created using a variety of printmaking techniques, including photographic techniques (e.g. photopolymer) and a variety of machines (e.g. laser cutting). Artists approach the theme of the exhibition through personal and found material. Both artists' work focuses on the use of photographic elements.

Manninen uses as a base material for her works selftaken material and family album photographs from different eras, which are located in the milieu of her family home. The works feature a visual world that is characteristic for Manninen's earlier work, combining the documentary nature of photography with the interpretive possibilities of handicraft. She is interested in how memories blend with the present and dreams leak into everyday reality, creating new kinds of hidden worlds. The works move in the liminal space of dreams, imagination and memory.

Mutka's works are also based on a personal archive of memories, from a guardian angel motif from grandma to self-taken photographs or plants picked from the roadside, as well as self-made materials ranging from paper to pigment, documenting their own personalities through the crafting process. Mutka's works also function as "new" ways of recording information, as if they were explorations of different traditional modes of recording, such as photography. The focus is often on altering, damaging or reorganising the data/information that is the starting point.
