Riitta Päiväläinen takes photos of old clothing in trees and in the wilderness. She goes to second hand shops and buys this old clothing which "carry silent, unknown stories and histories." The way she places the clothes makes them look like they are coming alive and that they have some sort of hidden identity still left in them which gives a creepy feel to the photos.
I really like her photos because they are so different and unusual. I particularly like the ones with the cloths wrapped around the trees because it makes the picture flow into one. I do also like the fact that she uses all old clothing and makes the tainted history behind the clothes come out in her photographs.
