`- Photography has been the main medium of CES artistic production since the start of the 1970s. CES is a pioneer of conceptual and narrative photography in Finland, in 1984 he represented Finland with his Silence series at the Venice Biennale.
CES, who has also published works of literature, makes works that are combinations of visual art and verbal art, in which the titles are important. In line with the tradition in conceptual art these titles evoke insights, with everyday matters taking on poetic dimensions. A landscape on canvas represents the contemplation of the nature of art characteristic of conceptual art:How can a landscape be put onto canvas? What is photography and what is painting?
At the beginning of the 1980s, CES photographed a series about the life of an edible snail. CES has given the snail the name Silence. The snail is said to have come to Sweden with Franciscan monks. Silence is an immigrant, with whom CES, who has settled in Sweden, identifies. The muteness of the snail is compared to the silence of immigrants in society, but the pictures equally lead us into meditation on deafness and silence.`
