And No Swinging – A Family Portrait

Ylikoski Maria

A photographer's attempt to portray her family in the Finnish countryside. The setting is typical for old Finnish black-and-white photographs: an outside garden swing. It is difficult to catch a family in a single photograph; the video portrays it better.
