Book of Ivalo
A Portrait of a village
Book of Ivalo is an ever-expanding collection of impressions and visual stalagmites, with the ultimate target of creating a detailed, four-dimensional psychosocial and spiritual portrait of a place.
The subject is Ivalo aka. Avvil aka. Iviza aka. Evil-O, a small Arctic village on the outskirts of the civilized world, surrounded by the last great wilderness areas of Europe.
The work began in 2017 and will take tens, maybe hundreds of years to complete.
sombre Milieu
Setting for life. The place is transformed by the inhabitants. The place moulds its inhabitants.
cold waters
Two liquids move the hearts of the Ivalonian men: cheap lager and the cold waters that keep those 4-kilogram trouts.
Short summers
High on midnight sun.
Northern Observations
Meanwhile in Ultima Thule.
