The series of 12 photographs explores narrative photography as a place-research method and investigates possibilities of applying the method in different contexts. Through focusing on different layers of presence and emptiness, the series tells a story about Bolungarvik, a small fisherman's village in Iceland. It questions the artist’s role and objectivity and tries to open a discussion about the development and atmosphere of a place. Without adding or taking anything away, it explores inclusion and exclusion through framing and selection. The series is not trying to represent the whole village or tell the truth about the journey, but rather create a dialogue between the place and the viewer.
The photo series was exhibited at University of Lapland "Valo Gallery" in February 2017, as part of "Bolungarvik" group exhibition
