Martina Hoogland Ivanow<br />
Far Too Close<br />
Far Too Close is a visual meditation on distance, both physical and emotional, of closeness to a subject and<br />
remoteness from a place. Applying a dark mesmerizing aesthetic which conveys in her images a heightened presence<br />
as real as it is poetic, Martina Hoogland Ivanow interweaves family portraits and interiors of home with landscapes of<br />
some of the most remote and far flung locations at the very ends of the Earth. Over seven years she travelled to<br />
Siberia, Sakhalin Island north of Japan, Tierra del Fuego on the southern tip of Argentina, and the Kola Peninsula in<br />
Russian Lapland. Each of these places has its own dark history and has been the focus of dispute and discontent.<br />
Combined with photographs of her own community, a literary tale emerges which shifts from disturbing to familiar and<br />
is about the very nature of photography, its capacity to relate history and emotion from afar and nearby.<br />
Martina Hoogland Ivanow, born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973, studied photography in Paris and New York. Her<br />
photographs have been featured in Another Magazine, Dazed & Confused, Big magazine, Blindspot and exhibited at<br />
Moderna Museet (Stockholm), <strong>The</strong> Barbican and <strong>The</strong> Victoria & Albert Museum (London), Brandts Museet for<br />
fotokunst (Denmark). She currently divides her time between Stockholm and New York.<br />
