„Pisarad vihmas” on näitus, mis uurib mobiilifotode kaudu kujutise kaduvust, mälu ning seda, mida me tegelikult talletame kui võtame telefoni taskust pildi tegemiseks. Mobiil on tänapäeval kõige käepärasem hetkejäädvustaja: sama seade peegeldab maailma ja salvestab seda. Kaamera ei ole enam eraldi „tööriist”, selle kasutamine on argine liigutus – mõnikord peaaegu refleks. Nii muutub pilt ühtaegu isiklikuks ja avalikuks: see sünnib intiimselt lähedal, aga elab edasi pilves ja voos.

Mobiilifoto eripära on ka see, et osa otsuseid tehakse meie eest. Seade teravustab, korrigeerib, silub, tihendab ja tõstab esile. Autorsus on jagatud: inimese pilk ja masina automaatika töötavad koos ning see muudab pildi iseloomu. Näitus ei käsitle seda puudusena, vaid ajastu paratamatusena – nii sünnibki tänapäeva mälu.

Vihm on näituse keskne kujund: pidev uhtumine ja voolamine, kus üks hetk sulandub teiseks. Mobiilifoto sünnib enamasti kiiresti, jõuab mõtlemata pilve ja vajub voos allapoole. Isegi kui fail jääb alles, kaob ta meie silme alt – uuenemise rütm uhub sellest üle. Seetõttu ei taotle näitus tehnilist täiuslikkust. Ta otsib kohalolu: fotosid, mis ei ole ainult tõend („olin siin”), vaid kannavad ka kogemust. Näituse fotode autorid püüavad mobiilikaamerat kasutades ületada mõtlematust, automatismi ja juhuslikkust.

Näitusel saab näha Leedu kunstiajaloolase ja fotokunstniku Virginijus Kinčinaitise ja Kõrgema Kunstikooli Pallas fototudengite teoseid.Pealkiri viitab Ridley Scotti kultusfilmile „Blade Runner” (1982), kus identiteet ja inimlikkus sõltuvad mälust, kogemusest ja kaastundest, mitte päritolust. Roy Batty monoloog lõpeb lausega: „All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.” Selles peitub mobiiliaja paradoks: kujutisi on rohkem kui kunagi varem, kuid just seetõttu on nad kergesti kaduvad. „Pisarad vihmas” tõstab osa neist korraks voost välja ja annab neile ruumi, aega ja kaalu.

Pärnu FotoFest 2026
TEARS IN RAIN
11.03.2026-24.05.2026

Tears in Rain is an exhibition that explores, through mobile photography, the ephemerality of the image, memory, and what we actually preserve when we take a phone out of our pocket to make a picture. The mobile phone is now the most handy device for capturing moments: the same tool both reflects the world and records it. The camera is no longer a separate “instrument”—using it is an everyday movement, sometimes almost a reflex. In this way, the image becomes both personal and public: it is created in intimate closeness, yet it continues to live in the
cloud and in the feed.

A distinctive feature of the mobile photo is that some decisions are made on our behalf. The device focuses, corrects, smooths, compresses, and highlights. Authorship is shared: the human gaze and the machine’s automation work together, and this
changes the character of the image. The exhibition does not treat this as a flaw, but as an inevitability of the era—this is how contemporary memory is made.

Rain is the exhibition’s central metaphor: constant rinsing and flowing, where one moment dissolves into the next. The mobile photo is usually made quickly, reaches the cloud without much thought, and sinks down the feed. Even if the file remains,
it disappears from our sight—the rhythm of updates washes over it. For this reason, the exhibition does not pursue technical perfection. It looks for presence: photographs that are not only evidence (“I was here”), but that also carry experience. The authors in the exhibition try, through the use of the
mobile camera, to move beyond thoughtlessness, automatism, and chance.

The exhibition features works by the Lithuanian art historian and photo artist Virginijus Kinčinaitis and by photography students of the Pallas University of Applied Sciences.

The title refers to Ridley Scott’s cult film Blade Runner (1982), where identity and humanity depend on memory, experience, and compassion, not on origin. Roy Batty’s monologue ends with the line: “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.” It contains the paradox of the mobile age: there are more
images than ever before, yet precisely for that reason they are easily lost. Tears in Rain lifts some of them out of the flow for a moment and gives them space, time, and weight.
