About the book
Finnish photographer Riitta P iv l inen's work could be defined as the emotional archaeology of the ordinary. Using old clothes she finds in second-hand shops and flea markets, P iv l inen creates landscapes and photographs them. For P iv l inen, the clothes are vestiges of human beings, retaining traces of the history of the person who wore them long after being discarded.The garments represent both the presence and the absence of their former owners.
