Sep 11 Photographic Alphabet: N is for Adam Neese

Project: Kaunis Suomi

These photographs address the way place is interpreted through the printed image. The original images are from a set of books I found second-hand in Finland while an Artist-in-Residence at Arteles Creative Center. Titled Kaunis Suomi or “Beautiful Finland,” the images are all made “in-camera” and have minimal post-processing. The found book pages have been backlit to reveal both recto and verso of each page; the layering of multiple images occurs in situ and is discovered through the process of creating these photographs.
