Behind Mountains — Pre-sale
Ragnar AxelssonPre-sale
For forty-five years, Icelandic photographer Ragnar Axelsson has documented the farmers of his homeland during the annual sheep roundups. This centuries-old tradition, often carried out on horseback or on foot, takes place every autumn. In his third publication with Kehrer Verlag, Axelsson presents powerful, atmospheric black-and-white photographs that vividly capture the interaction between people, their animals, and the rugged landscape. Majestic rolling hills, battered by roaring snow and rainstorms, alongside rough lava fields and massive rock formations, convey a striking and evocative image of the extraordinary connection between humans and nature.
Axelsson’s work has been recognized with numerous awards, including a shortlist nomination for the Prix Pictet and an Honorable Mention in the Leica Oskar Barnack Award.
