Interviews
Hei, Helsinki is a city travel guide that introduces the local people’s ways of enjoying Helsinki. 25 people we encountered were interviewed in the 18 places chosen for the book within walking distance around the city centre. This project was created in collaboration with June Seo, a designer and Jihyun Kim as a writer. Originated from ‘Lost June’, June’s earlier map project, the book features the rough maps hand-drawn by the people on the spot to visualise how they see their city as a living place.
