Finnish environmental artist Kaarina Kaikkonen creates ethereal, dreamlike landscapes from repurposed clothes. Her latest work, entitled ‘Are we still going on?’ was recently installaed at Collezione Maramotti, a former Max Mara factory that now houses contemporary art.

Kaarina Kaikkonen‘s huge site-specific installation contrasts with the former factory’s brutalist architecture. It consists of hundreds of second-hand shirts that together to create flowing forms. The garments, which seem to be holding hands, speak of the history of clothing production while creating a dialogue between the masculine and the feminine.

The shirts have been neatly organized by color into a form resembling the interior hull. The garments’ rhythmic repetition and past lives call to mind the fragility of human beings
