Morten ANDERSEN juxtaposes the deliberately framed, sublime view of nature with the spontaneity and energy of the Karlsøy Festival in Troms. The island of Troms has been considered a free haven for radicals, artists as well as hippies since the 1970s. In these images, people gather and celebrate under the midnight sun. The Norwegian calls the free-spirited, multicultural rock festival a possible model of a future society. Thus, the photo book 'Country.Rock' is a book about escape from the political and social failures of our time, but also about myths, dreams and nature. The landscape may be bleak and challenging, but there is hope for the future, with beauty and freedom.
Additional information
The artist book 'Country.Rock' by Morten ANDERSEN is already his 21st photo book. It represents the indirect continuation of the photo book 'Untitled.Cities' (2013), which explored the alienation and decay in European cities. Unlike 'Untitled.Cities', the visual storytelling in 'Country.Rock' implies a more optimistic outlook even after disaster and collapse." (
