Marja-Liisa Torniainen: Sunnuntai rakennustyömaalla 1.

The works are united by the colour yellow. The first three images date from the construction period of the Vuores residential area, and the last two are from the Finn-Match factory (Tikkutehdas) from the time it served as a hub for graffiti artists and the location for many photoshoots. Vuores has been built for several years, and a residential building has risen on the site of the Tikkutehdas, which, as far as the photographer knows, has not yet been completed.
