ÍSLAND
In a world where everyday life is more and more complex and saturated with intrusive images, Réza Kalfane proposes with his first book ÍSLAND a parenthesis dedicated to contemplation. His photography is minimal, authentic, timeless, highlighting what most precious and unique the Icelandic nature has to offer.
The book ÍSLAND offers a photographic story in a three-part progression: mysterious, picturesque and unexpected. This visual story begins with a series of waterfalls that punctuate the landscape of the country and the tourist’s itinerary. Revealed through a play of light and shadow, each image evokes the atmosphere of the Icelandic legends the waterfalls are named after.
The story continues with images of a timeless and rugged landscape. With the same graphic interest, Réza captures the profile of a glacier or the juxtaposition of black sand and snow.
ÍSLAND ends with aerial views that merge the contrasting abstract yet organic qualities of this unique landscape.
