Overview

In The Shadow's Wandering Per Bak Jensen has collected 59 of his new photographs from his wanderings in a world where ""everything seems to be slowly disappearing while at the same time in the process of being reborn"", as he states in one of the short texts accompanying the images in the book. The editor of the book Johannes Riis, former publisher at Gyldendal, states: ""At first the world in which Per Bak invites us is rigorous and relentless, but at second glance a diverse richness unfolds. The sternness inhabits its own unfathomable beauty. It is not beauty that appears magically by the lightest touch. Rather, it takes a certain view of the world, a perception that is ridden of the conventional, the banal. It detests shortcuts and procrastination. It arises from an ability to select, focus, and concentrate. The photos do not present a key to understand every single frame. Rather, it invites us into the eye-opening and original world of Per Bak Jensen.
