“Finland is a rare exception in the North,” says the artist Jussi Puikkonen of his homeland. On Vacation is a poetic journey in photographs spanning the nine months in which Finland lies in hibernation. Only during the three summer months are Finns, like tourists, perceptible outdoors; the rest of the year they prefer to hide in their houses. In popular classic resort towns like Hanko or Naantali, however, a breath of summery leisure activism remains palpable even in winter — and it is precisely this mood that Puikkonen captures.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
