Inuit culture now goes side-by-side with Western lifestyles and modes of consumption.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Grlillst0413-img487_copy-1412717125" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/126147/grlillst0413-img487_copy-1412717125.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> I traveled to Greenland in <strong>2013</strong>, staying with the local inhabitants of the towns and the northernmost dwellings I encountered, with the aim of recording these changes.</p> <p>  </p> <p> I have prepared this journey for more than a year, tricked my cameras to resist the cold, and learnt the basis of its langage <strong><em>Kalaallissut</em></strong>. I was expecting this stay to be filled with isolation - it was the exact opposite: I have met extremely welcoming people and had fascinating discussions about their society.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Grlqaq0413-untitled50_copy-1412717201" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/126149/grlqaq0413-Untitled50_copy-1412717201.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> I did not have the intention to produce a factual, documentary-style book. In contrary I wanted to preserve a certain approach of framing that fits the medium-format film camera that I use. My photographic approach was more focused on the atmosphere and my sensibility, while trying to capture the change that the country undergoes along the series. This work most certainly has a large part of subjectivity.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>It is the fruit of this work that I present in this book, and I hope that you will be touched as much as this country touched me.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Grlumq0313-untitled1_copy-1412717248" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/126150/grlumq0313-Untitled1_copy-1412717248.jpg"></p> <p>  </p>
