The talk will focus on the present-day landscape photography in Denmark, emphasising how it is shaped by human hands and culture, and how it is forming a kind of living archive providing new perspectives on the interplay between humanity and nature.
Christina Capetillo is one of Denmark's most influential visual artists within landscape photography, and Mathias Svold and Ulrik Hasemann, award-winning photographers who, over several years, have together created the works Kystland (Coastal Land) (2019) and Gennem Øjetræet (Through the Eye Tree) (2023).
For many years, Capetillo, Svold, and Hasemann have, each in their own way, tried to capture the essence of Danish present-day landscapes and nature, and their works are a reminder that nature and the landscape often turn out to be constructions influenced and shaped by human hands and culture. In this exhibition, their works will be shown together and, through different perspectives and mutual interplay, will examine present-day landscapes and human imprints on the Danish landscape.
