Inuuteq Storch
Inuuteq Storch, born in 1989, Sisimiut, Greenland. Based in Copenhagen and Sisimiut.
I studied at Fatamorgana – The Danish School of Art Photography in 2010 and at the International Center of Photography in New York in 2016. After that, I published the following books: Porcelain Souls, Flesh and Mirrored – Portraits of Good Hope.
My work is based on identity searching, which means the subject is usually around being from Greenland.
I work with my photography and archives.
Keepers of the Ocean
Keepers of the Ocean is part of my place project. My hometown, Sisimiut, and the life we have there. The more I spend time away, the more I understand what we have at home is special. The intimacy we have is created by the nature we are surrounded with, rough and honest. The weather controls everything, and nature gives us everything we need.
Iben Gad's work deals with identity and personal stories - though based in the documentary field, she has a remarkably quirky take on the discipline which deserves a certain attention. Her project about bullying, To the Unpopular Girls, shows personal courage and a refreshing multimedia approach to photojournalism.
Inuuteq Storch, based in Sisimiut, Greenland, makes work about his homeland that radiates a sensitivity to identity, human relations and belonging. His poetic imagery offers an uncensored portrait of a culture which for many centuries has been dominated by outsiders' perspective.
Luna Scales stands out for her persistent and kaleidoscopic investigation of the human body through photography and video performance. She is occupied with the codex between the viewer and the objectified body - and how language and the gaze become the defining measurement for perfection and beauty.
Oscar Scott Carl, a recent graduate of Photojournalism, is already a convincing visual storyteller. The core of his photographic practice is to engulf himself in long-term projects which reflect upon social injustice and transition in human relations.
Tina Bek's personal practice is complemented by commissions for the fashion industry: a combination that lends her the ability to create harmonic compositions. However beautiful, the beauty she conveys is often dislocated, forcing viewers' to recalibrate their expectations.
