intervals and forms of stones of stars is a photographic field study of a Nordic manmade beach landscape (the landscape in which Arken Museum of Modern Art is situated). Through a series of cameraless photographic registrations, Nanna Debois Buhl maps the biotope’s flora, fauna, and soil and draws connections between the characteristics of the site and its photographic representation. Using historical photographic techniques to connect what is depicted in the images and how they are made, her photographs are inspired by the cameraless photographic works of William Henry Fox Talbot (1840s) and August Strindberg (1890s); images created in the moment of contact between the object and the photosensitive surface. —Humboldt Books
