Imaginary Islands

Beskrivning

Imaginary Islands takes place in Greenland, in the capital Nuuk, where Törnroth is undertaking a studio residency. The magnificent, beautiful sea that surrounds the island has drawn her there. Many have given their lives to the sea here, but they are also dependent on what the sea provides for survival. In her photographs, she exposes herself to the sea; during early mornings in icy cold, and with long exposure times, she stands and acts with the light from a flashlight as a communicator between the sea and the viewer of the image. In the series, she also portrays children with “their” sea in frozen form, and seas that meet other seas in the form of miniature icebergs.
