Inuuteq Storch\u2019s photographs from everyday life in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) weave together interiors, landscapes, animals and spirit life. Whether photographing family and friends or people he\u2019s just met, the photographic process is influenced by close collaboration. The images\u2019 snapshot aesthetic is informed by Storch\u2019s intimate relationship with his subjects and intuitive way of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poetic and fabulating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The four series in the exhibition span the entirety of Storch\u2019s career and follow him on journeys between his hometown Sisimiut and places in and outside of Kalaallit Nunaat. Photographs preserve cultural memories, and for Storch, they are a means to assert control over and create a history of one\u2019s own. Using analogue cameras, often gifted by friends and colleagues, he subsequently digitizes the material for his personal archive. With inspiration from Kalaallits\u2019 (Greenlanders\u2019) music and art of storytelling, Storch creates a visual language that is both poetic and fabulating. Though not overtly political, his images draw attention to a people and a culture with resilience and enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colonialism and geopolitics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The history of Kalaallit Nunaat is one shaped by colonialism and geopolitical events. Though the country is self-governed and largely independent from Denmark, today\u2019s political situation demonstrates that imperialist modes of thought and action still very much affect the agenda. There is thus a strong need to create alliances in the Circumpolar North, and this exhibition should be seen as playing a part in such a process.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
