A catalogue of quiet photographs that celebrate the elemental nature of things. Engberg has rejected precision lenses and f-stops and returned to the basics. Her artistic vision is achieved by the most rudimentary of means, through a pinhole. She is from Denmark and the tenets of Danish modernism are deeply instilled in her: simple forms, pure line, repeated elements. She turned to pinhole photography because it reduces the visible world to abstract form. Enberg’s fine art photography follows three decades of successful commercial photography, first in Copenhagen and London, then in New York, where she has lived since 1968.
