About Death

"Death is a village in Finland. I saw it for the first time during a working trip through the back window of the taxi I was in. As the taxi driver drove into the courtyard of a small shop and exclaimed, “Welcome to Death!” I thought to myself: only in Finland can a village be called Death( In Finnish Kuolema). For me, it’s this relationship to death that separates the Swedes from the Finns. In Finland, you are born, then comes a long period of suffering, and then you die. In Sweden, you are born, everything is Jätte bra! (very good) and then you disappear. Like to Spain.

In Kuolema lives two identical twin sisters who are married to two brothers. They all live together in a house. Half of the house is theire home and the other half is a grocery store where the sisters work. The brothers work in the family’s gravel company. They have a child per family born within seven weeks of each others. The family name is Pitkänen.

I have with my camera followed the lifes of the Pitkänen family and theire neighbours since the autumn 2002."
