Brox, Thomas Linder: PATAGONIA.

Author: Ottesen, Rasmus Lanken
Year: 2003
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

In January 1999, Brox held an exhibition in Roskilde Kunstforening, Denmark, that was to be his last exhibition for a long time. He had a new approach to making pictures: Instead of making them to be displayed on the wall, he imagined them to be experienced in book form. In this book he finds words to go with the images for he wants to present himself as a “writing photographer”. With this approach in mind, Brox sets out on a journey across Patagonia beginning in February 1999, a region that covers about 350,000 square miles of southernmost Argentina and Chile; from the river Rio Negro in the north to Cape Horn in the south.

Brox, Thomas Linder: ROADS & RAILWAYS. Photographs 1999-2001

Author: Ottesen, Rasmus Lanken
Year: 2002
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

Thomas and Rasmus yearned for desolate places, which they were not finding in their homeland, Denmark and as a consequence of this, they travelled almost 6000 kilometers through Norway, Finland and Sweden. They went north by the E6 route, which took them through a landscape of widespread forests and barren mountain crests. These photographs are shot in 1999-2001, of which some are from the series ‘Patagonia, ‘Visions of India’, and ‘Transit’. He has collected 21 photographs from 4 continents and 10 different countries, all of which relate to the same theme. Rasmus states in the epilogue: “On one hand the roads and railways always give an indication of direction that gives rise to the hope that the purpose or meaning of the journey can be found behind the horizon. On the other hand the pictures show no final destination by the end of the road, no arrivals, only the open space and the constant repetition of the point from which the trail again disappears into the unknown.”

GAMDRUP, MADS RENUNCIATION.

Author: Sultan, Terrie
Year: 2002
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

Mads Gamdrup makes photographs that explore the tension between pristine nature and prosaic civilization on the one hand, and conflict between realities of life and the sanctity of an imagined perfection of the other. Gamdrup produces modernist images devoid of nearly all references to a particular time or social order, as a product of his photograhic quest.

Heikkilä, Jaakko: BRIGHT HUMILITY.

Author: Heikkilä, Jaakko
Year: 1997
Country or State of Origin: Finland

Lars-Levi Laestadius (1800-1861), parson, thinker and a man of strong influence, has left his mark on the mind of all those who come from the northern regions of the Nordic countries. In this work, Heikkilä walks in the northernmost Swedish Lapland, in the birth place of the Laestadian religious movement. With him he carries pictures of the parson himself and his seven preachers dating from the19th century. He finds people who are quiet, strong in their humility and who have experienced the atmosphere of prayer houses from the beginning of last century to the present day. He finds the nothern vernacular; the heavenly poetry and the life supporting full-bodied self-irony. Amazing present day portrait photography interspersed with the old pictures, the latter mounted on transparent paper with fire in the background, interesting technique - beautiful book by one of Finland’s foremost art photographers.

Hjorth-Rohde, Charlotte: HOVERING IN THE DARK.

Author: Hjorth-Rohde, Charlotte
Year: 2004
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

The Danish photographer has had a long-lsting love affair with the classical Pantomime Theatre at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. What is seen here is people, ballerinas, movements, figures, petticoats and shoes, theatrical set....everything that is part of this theatre. Her pictures portray a dreamlike quality, feeling like a poem rather than document. The images appear old-fashioned, timeless and romantic with its soft-focus pictorialism.

Jokisalo, Ulla: THE MEMORY OF MY IMAGES/KUVIENI MUISTI. The Years 1980-2000/Vuodet 1980-2000

Author: Toimittaja, Vastaava, ed
Year: 2001
Country or State of Origin: Finland

A retrospective exhibition, Jokisalo’s has introduced a strong female perspective that is subjective and confessional to Finnish art. For this artist, making pictures is a means of building her own idiom and identity. Mixing past and present and fact and fiction is a key element in her pictorial thinking. Her focal themes are memory, childhood and the relationship between mothers and daughters. She takes a photograph and modifies it by cutting, sewing or adding other elements, such as scissors, needles and thread. A provocative and very interesting artist with strong work.
