Riitta Päiväläinen

"Finnish photographer Riitta Päiväläinen uses discarded clothing from second-hand shops and flea markets to carry silent, unknown stories and histories.  By freezing the garment or letting the wind fill it with air, she is able to create a sculptural space, which reminds her of its former user. 
“The unavoidable fact that I will never know the actual story and personal histories connected with the clothes arouses my curiosity. The clothes remain silent, withholding their secrets. Little by little, personal histories are absorbed into the collective history.” "

-it's an interesting concept, and I love the accompanying images:

Humas of New York

My roommate recently showed me this guys work. He has a project called "Humans of New York" and he literally just takes pictures of people in NY. He also adds a little caption of parts of the conversation he had with these people. It's really interesting! This project is also on Facebook

shimon attie- for those interested in projection

These images were done by Shimon Attie. He lectured at the douglass campus center a few months back and I thought his stuff was amazing. Not only is he addressing the modernization of an environment, he is also addressing the overall changes that history has made through photographs.
