Toomas Volkmann is launching a new book, and, naturally, we have to celebrate at Fotografiska – a place with a past of its own with Volkmann, marked by the exhibition “pastful blast”, legendary parties without boundaries, and conversations that never seemed to end.

Once again, we have every reason to set the night in motion and let the party spill into the early hours.

This time, we celebrate a rebellious chapter in Estonian visual culture alongside the unapologetic legacy of camp. At the heart of the evening is an encounter between two icons whose creative paths first crossed during the legendary VIBE era.

For this special occasion, Tallinn welcomes Lady Bunny, an undisputed pioneer of the drag scene and a legend of New York's underground nightlife. Known for her extravagant glamour and merciless wit, she will deliver a sharp, unfiltered stand-up performance before taking over the DJ booth as the night unfolds.

Sacred and sinful. Beautiful and grotesque. High art meets a touch of decadence, with a little adventure in the shadowy territory between morality and camp.

It's time to get ready for House of Volkmann – theatrical, extravagant, and gloriously over the top, as always.

Toomas VolkmannToomas Volkmann's visual language is rich in symbolism, creating striking constellations of images charged with meaning. His work is at once theatrical and restrained, morbid and full of life, grandly dramatic yet disarmingly intimate.

His photographic work has challenged the taboos of an Estonia still emerging from the grey constraints of the post-Soviet era, while bringing presidents to magazine covers. In Estonian visual culture, Volkmann's work is both a document of its time and an aesthetic act of rebellion.
