Sommaren 2012 begav sig åtta fotojournaliseter ut på varsin resa i Skandinavien för att utforska sina hem- och grannländer. Resultatet är Scandinavian Moments, en samling bestående av åtta okonventionella vykortsböcker som på ett lekfullt och nyskapande sätt dokumenterar allt från de långa sommarnätterna till industrilandskap. Vykorten visar de olika fotografernas resor, vad de sett och vilka de mött. Det de har gemensamt är att alla förmedlar sin bild av vad Skandinavien är.
During the brightest time of the year, eight Scandinavian photojournalists jumped on separate trains and went on a collective interrail trip to explore Scandinavia. Seeking the familiar rather than the exotic, they went looking for stories in their own back yards: Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
The eight photographers: Oddleiv Apneseth, Elin Berge, Johan Bävman, Pieter Ten Hoopen, Eivind H Natvig, Chris Maluszynski, Åsa Sjöström, and Knut Egil Wang formed new views of their home countries, sometimes challenging old stereotypes in the process. Letting their paths cross along the way, they explored and questioned their own ways of looking and telling stories as they for the first time worked side by side as photographers – making powerful use of their collective in working towards the common goal of the project.
The result is a collection of photographic stories presented in the form of postcards from the road. A playful insight to Scandinavia today, signed Moment Agency. This first volume of Scandinavian Moments demonstrates the strength of working as a group of individual storytellers, and is the start of a series of group projects
