Booth Event – Book Signing: Ragnar Axelsson

For forty-five years, Icelandic photographer Ragnar Axelsson has observed the farmers of his homeland during the sheep roundups. This centuries-old tradition takes place every autumn and is often carried out on horseback or on foot. In his third publication with Kehrer Verlag, Axelsson presents powerful, atmospheric photographs that impressively document the interaction between people and their animals, as well as with the rugged landscape. Majestic rolling hills, besieged by roaring snow and rainstorms, rough lava rock, and massive rock formations convey a realistic and compelling image of the extraordinary connection between humans and nature. Axelsson’s work has been honored with numerous awards, including Prix Pictet shortlist and Leica Oskar Barnack Award (Honorable Mention).

Kehrer Verlag is delighted to welcome the artist to a signing of his two publications “Behind Mountains” and “Arctic Heroes” (available as Collector’s Edition). His works will be on display at Qerndu Gallery.
