New Skandinavian photography.

As the first comprehensive study of the contemporary Scandinavian photography scene, this book documents the shift in Scandinavian photography away from a documentary practice and towards a fine art discourse. Since the late 1980s, Scandinavian photography has evolved into an internationally recognised art scene, with the past two decades seeing a transition away from traditional photojournalism.

Focusing on the last ten years, and produced in collaboration with MELK, 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 and explores the medium through academic texts and interviews, addressing the technical and material properties of photography in the context of fine art and pan-media practice, with a focus on the exhibition room as well as printed matter.
