Landscape Shortlist

‘The individual works in this series are alluring collages that seduce our visual and art historical memory, creating time jumps and exploring new combinations of different genres.’ The photographer explains that the pictures move along the border of photography and painting, presenting nature as seen through the spectacles of our cultural history. The landscape becomes the stage and a storyteller of our existence, yet within the work there is a fragility on display, and it is the viewer’s task to protect it. ‘Sometimes the silence of the sea is lightly broken through a ship, a ghost ship full of stories. Another time the sun seems to draw a trace in dots to the sky.’
