Kohtaamisia 1960-luvun Helsingissä – Encounters in 1960s Helsinki

Images from 1960s Helsinki.

The vast majority of Ismo Hölttö´s photographs were taken in his hometown, Helsinki. This book includes a large number of previously unpublished images which are finally and deservedly brought to the forefront.

The world captured by Ismo Hölttö no longer exists. However, behind the nostalgia called forth by these images, Hölttö accomplishes the most important task of a documentarian: he shows us who we used to be. At the same time, he helps us to understand who we are now.
