Martin N. Johansen:<br />
More than meets the eye<br />
by Ellen Hall<br />
Martin Johansen has the rugged Nordic looks you might expect of a landscape and wildlife<br />
photographer. His love for mountain hiking and biking has drawn him far from the beaten<br />
track to observe nature in its most secret and intimate moments. A man of action who knows<br />
when to sit still and observe, Martin’s photographs reflect his attention to the wonder of what he sees.<br />
Martin’s publishing career<br />
started at the age of 16 with<br />
black and white photographs for<br />
a Danish fishing magazine. His<br />
articles and images have since<br />
© Martin N. Johansen<br />
appeared in Geo, Terre Sauvage<br />
and other publications. His most<br />
recent book “Atlantique Nord”<br />
surveys Greenland, Iceland and<br />
the Faroe Islands with text in<br />
French and English.<br />
For the past 10 years<br />
Martin and his young<br />
family have lived in<br />
Collioure. His next book<br />
project is about the<br />
wildlife and landscape<br />
of the Pyrenees from<br />
Vallespir and Canigou<br />
down to the coast.<br />
Some of these images will be<br />
part of an exhibition at the site<br />
of Paulilles from September 1<br />
to 26. The work of two other<br />
photographers, Aouad Said and<br />
Henri Colonna d’Istria, will be also<br />
be on display<br />
“By showing the beauty of<br />
landscape I hope to prevent<br />
too much development and<br />
destruction.” In Greenland<br />
Martin recently witnessed how<br />
climate change has affected<br />
the landscape and the dramatic<br />
consequences for the way of life<br />

And now for something<br />
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.<br />
“SPLIT” is the title of the exhibition<br />
to be held from 8th – 31st<br />
October at the CASTANGALERIE,<br />
3 Place Gambetta, Perpignan or<br />
at 7 Avenue du General Leclerc.<br />
(Venue to be confirmed. Ring 04<br />
68 340367 for details)<br />
The photographer/ artist/sculptor<br />
is Phil Monk. All his artistic skills are<br />
discernable in the awesome black<br />
and white images on show. The<br />
resulting photographs are both<br />
powerful and disturbing, fascinating<br />
and unsettling.<br />
Unique, totally original and highly<br />
unusual, in them Phil Monk uses<br />
his remarkable creative energy to<br />
expose the struggle towards inner<br />
peace. It is a great opportunity to<br />
see them in Perpignan before they<br />
move on to the Contemporary Art<br />
Fair in Strasbourg from 24th – 29th<br />
November.
