Arjen alkemiaa -trilogia (Tuhkimo, Ruusunen ja Oikea Prinsessa) nähtiin kokonaisuudessaan Suomen Valokuvataiteen museossa 2007. Mielen alkemiaa -trilogia (Harry Potter, Matrix ja Avatar layer) on työnalla ja osittain kiertää jo maailmalla. Avaruuden alkemiaa -trilogia tulee päättämään alkemiaa -aiheisten näyttelykokonaisuuksien sarjan. Entisaikojen alkemistit pyrkivät muuttamaan arvottoman arvokkaaksi.
