1. Old School Archaeology (2009), A4 size, edition of 100

Egypt fascinated the West in the 19th and 20th centuries. Archeology was at times practiced in questionable ways. The British Museum and the Egyptian Museum of Berlin alone have twice the number of artifacts compared with that of the one in Cairo. Mummies were shipped abroad to fulfill the most peculiar needs: tons of mummified cats were ground to dust for use as fertilizer – simply because no other use could be thought of.

In 19th century Helsinki prostitution was an integral part of the amusements enjoyed by its upper-class menfolk. These men oftentimes frequented the higher-end brothels. One out of one hundred people in Helsinki were classified as prostitutes.
