Nordic Signs, a series produced between 1989 and 1994, is a poetic reflection on the inherent qualities of lands ruled by the elements. The Danish photographer traveled through Northern Europe, especially Norway, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, hoping to put forward nature’s strength and the relationship it builds with those who inhabit it. A mystic and ethereal atmosphere transpires from these contemplative images, filled with mysterious codes.

This series of photographs is the artist’s first long term project and marks the beginning of his collaboration with the Swedish poet Cia Rinne
