Imaginary Meetings

Riitta Päiväläinenis (1969)

Synopsis

Riitta Päiväläinen’s book delves into "emotional archaeology" by transforming ordinary, secondhand garments into evocative landscape installations. Her process involves freezing clothes in the Finnish winter, making them appear as if inhabited by their previous owners, symbolizing both presence and absence. The book features Päiväläinen's unique installations and photographs, exploring themes of memory and identity. As a prominent member of the Helsinki School, her work is showcased internationally and is represented by Gallery TaiK, underscoring her significant impact in the realm of conceptual photography.
