In the high Artic, above Europe and below the Polar ice cap, lies a cold, barren and barely inhabited Artic Land, the Svalbard island group. Here is the experience of majestic landscapes including snow-covered saw tooth mountains, gigantic glaciers, bursting flowers, crowded nesting cliffs - all in all heart stopping encounters with nature. The incredible photography in this book sets a stage for imagination, which triggers associations, reflections and dreams. It invites viewing.

Taking a photograph involves a curious and sometimes highly charged selection process. The photographer seeks out a subject that makes sense, but there are no easy choices because the camera sees everything new all the time. The goal is to make a picture with strong, clear language that speaks openly about its subject. Camilla Holmgren’s photographic practice consists of an ongoing process that is dedicated to observing and comprehending the conditions that shapes her life experiences. Her approach is self-reflective and analytical. Her photographs pose the fundamental questions -- How should I choose to represent myself? How do I view the world? What is the nature of the situation in which I find myself?

Häusser, the winner of the Hassleblad award for photography in 1995, is a German photographer whose work has been exhibited widely in Europe and the U.S. The black-and-white photographs presented here have a desolate quality, devoid as they are of human forms, and some, such as “Chimneys” have the look of a painting. All reflect the photographer’s intention to shed another perspective on reality--the reality is the photograph; the eye of the photographer transports you into new ways of seeing.

Out of the merging of photography with the graphic arts in “photogravure,” a new pictorialism develops which, undaunted, accommodates the copper engraver, the computer nerd, and the snapshot photographer. This book depicts fascinating work by 37 Nordic artists, selected by a committee organized by the Museum of Photographic Art in Denmark. As a testament to the resilience of this art form, this exhibition appraises the resurgence of photogravure in terms of its ability to express the relentlessly contemporary.

Johansen’s photographs are rarely rich in expression; they primarily contain an idiosyncratic sense of humor coupled with sensuousness; they are thoroughly musical and expressive of a soul, a ring of despair which can only be compared to music. Heartrendingly beautiful, black and white photographs often manipulated to look like canvas or rugged stone.
