Histories and her stories
I like photos of archives, for example those from archives of Helsinki City Museum. It’s fascinating how places and people that doesn’t exist anymore stay alive in old photos, in stories and in memories, and so become part of imaginary and folklore. Separation between the real and fiction is not important to me. Things that were and those that could have been have the same narrative value. Some of these works are in small scale, some in larger scale.
