What the exhibition is about
The exhibition marks 100 years since the publication of Part I of A. H. Tammsaare’s Truth and Justice, one of the defining works of Estonian literature. Rather than treating the anniversary as a purely literary occasion, the project invites 100 artists to respond visually to the book, creating a wide-ranging portrait of how a national text continues to live through contemporary art, image-making and interpretation.
Each artist has created a work inspired by Tammsaare’s novel. These works will also become unique book covers for rare editions of Truth and Justice, with the original artworks and special editions later auctioned at Vaal Gallery.
For readers unfamiliar with the book, Truth and Justice is often described as a central text in Estonian cultural identity: a novel cycle concerned with land, labour, family, morality and the difficult search for justice.
Eiko Ojala
Eiko’s inclusion feels especially fitting. Known for his elegant cut-paper aesthetic, refined use of shadow and precise conceptual wit, Eiko has developed a visual language that sits between illustration, sculpture and metaphor. His work often distils complex ideas into deceptively simple images, making him a natural contributor to a project built around interpretation, memory and the enduring power of storytelling.
