This book shows Jim Bengtson’s landscape series “Empty Landscape”. The beautiful, expansive landscape photos were taken in the mountains of Ringebu, south of Rondane National Park in Norway, in the rich-colored red sandstone desert in southeastern Utah and in Portør on the coast of Telemark. He describes trying to capture the “feeling” of the landscape with his photos-not just the color and shape. This impressive book is truly a must for anyone interested in landscape photography.

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.

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.”
