(Signed) Wood Works by Line Bøhmer Løkken

A collection of works by Norwegian photographer Line Bøhmer Løkken.

We live in a time when late capitalist market forces and materialistic desires are deeply entwined in our interactions with things. Synthetic materials, mass production and 3D printing have changed the way we create, value and relate to things, and the digitization of technology has reduced our physical and direct contact with matter over time.

This book delicately reexamines such tendencies, and in particular, by taking up one of the most important materials in human history, wood, is a gentle reminder of the deep relationship between things and us. . It contains photographs of trees that change into various forms, such as raw wood, cardboard boxes with carefully crafted ornaments, decayed dead trees, live trees with polished objects lined up, and building materials. , From the details, you can definitely feel the history of the invention of tools and the relationship between wood and human beings.

Limited to 300 copies. Signed by the author.
