Summary:
The Swedish photographer Julia Hetta photographed the images in this book on the Swedish island of Fårö in the Baltic Sea, in close collaboration with her friend, the artist Åsa Stenerhag. Her (mostly) black-and-white photographs in "Island" depict their subjects—from trees (the branches, leaves, trunks of trees), rocks (the shapes, layers, textures of rocks), human beings (the faces, hair, expressions, clothes of human beings)—both in relation to one another and with a more singular focus. The book imbues its subjects with stillness and power. Though calm, the atmosphere is one of capacious potential. The titular island may as well be from another dimension. Black, fragile, powerful; a world of romance after the despair.
