Riiko Sakkinen : Los moimoi de Fuengirola
135: Parvs, 2024. 1st Edition. Hardcover. "Los moimoi de Fuengirola" is an exhibition and research project through which artist Riiko Sakkinen (b. 1976) explores notions of Finnish identity. Located on Spain's Costa del Sol, Fuengirola is home to a community of around 30,000 Finns, the majority of whom never bother to learn the local language or customs. They live their own semi-isolated lives, spending their time comfortably in Finnish bars and relying on the services of their own Finnish shops and institutions. The Fuengirola local government has gone so far as to name itself “Finland's southernmost town”.
The research project is a meditation on the essence of Finnishness presented in the guise of an anthropological study. The book's editor is Pauli Sivonen, Director of the Serlachius Museums.
Related to the exhibition and research project on Finns in Spain's Costa del Sol, Serlachius Headquarters, Mänttä, Finland, 15 June 2024 – 16 February 2025. As New. Item #7759
