What
do I think of this book?
it is
presented not as a narrative at all, it is a pure document of what the
photographers found in the areas they went. There is mix of photography and
styles, helped by the way there are 3 photographers- three different
people, no matter how close they are will always have a few different styles
and a few different ways of looking at things.there is a
map showing the area of the Baltic sea that helps you to understand
the area in which the photos were taken and give it context.
I like that the
photographs were taken by Scandinavian photographers, who understand what it is
like to be Scandinavian. It would not be the same project if someone foreign,
with foreign ideals came to photograph the area. The project has more meaning
for them to photograph it, they grew up Scandinavian, the grew up with the sea
being the centre for them, instead of growing up american for
example understanding fast food chains or growing up English,
understanding chav life.
