IF NOKIA WERE A PLACE
The Finish name Nokia is known around the world through mobile telephones. It is however also the name of a small city two hundred kilometres north of Helsinki. The rubber factory, which was started there around 1900, put Nokia on the map and also provided work for half its population. In the 1970s the firm shifted its attention to the cleaner electronics field and left the city. While the firm flourished, the place fell into a deep economic crisis. A fast-growing service sector brought salvation. Duncker (b. 1963) photographed life in the city over two years.
