Publisher's Synopsis
Since the late 1980s Scandinavian photography has evolved into an internationally recognized art scene, with the past two decades seeing a transition from traditional photo-journalistic practice towards a fine-art discourse. Focusing on the last ten years, New Scandinavian Photography highlights the work produced by a diverse range of artists who are exploring and manipulating the use of photography in their practices. Through critical examination and personal interviews, the book showcases established names in the photographic art scene such as Asger Carlsen and Emil Salto, along with emerging talents that include Marten Lange and Marthe Elise Stramund. A key focus is upon artist?s use of photography as a medium, along with their methods of presentation, from the white cube gallery space to intimate printed matter.
