Finnish environmental artist Kaarina Kaikkonen is using hundreds and hundreds of second-hand shirts to create giant shirt installations, which look as if someone hung his huge amount of clothes out to dry. Her most recent work ‘Are we still going on?’ can be seen at Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, Italy and consists of hundreds of childrens shirts, organized by color, resembling the interior hull of a ship. With her work Kaikkonen tries to search her constantly changing outline, which she needs to understand herself more clearly.
