Tine Poppe
One of our photographers this month has an array of bodies of work ranging from personal projects to editorial. The imagery exhibits impactful subject matter and great visual aesthetics. Elements of the environment and spaces being explored in the photographs are visually pushed to the limits and used to their full potential to create strong ambiences, and informative and narrative qualities. Below you can find the imagery and words from several series of Tine Poppe.
Tine Poppe is a photographer living and working in Oslo, Norway. Her practice focuses on bringing attention to social, political and environmental issues, particularly the refugee crisis, racism and climate change. In doing so, her work has been published in prominent newspapers like the Washington Post and various photography magazines around Europe.

WHITE IS NOT A COLOUR
In the days following the 22nd of July 2011 terrorist attack by right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, the streets of Norway were filled with colourful roses and speeches of love conquering extremism, fear and xenophobia. The people’s reaction to Europe’s largest terrorist attack was admired on television screens all over the world. During those days in 2011, it would have been hard to imagine that in the years to follow, xenophobia and anti-multiculturalism in Norway would flourish to the extent that racist attitudes would soon become mainstream and acceptable, even within the government. Society has slowly and almost unnoticed been infiltrated by right-extremist philosophy and we are losing our most important values like tolerance, hope, justice and empathy.

WHERE GODS RESIDE
Three of the world's major rivers — the Indus, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra — arise in the Himalayas. Their combined drainage basin is home to 600 million people, and the rivers have a major religious significance to Hindus all over the world. Within seconds the dense Himalayan fog in Nepal appears in spring and transcends the scenery and the villages into the magical and mystical world of fairy tales and lucid dreaming. Shutting away the glorious view of the Himalayan mountains, one is left only with the details of the what is close and visible and unable to predict who or what is going to appear only a short distance away. Meanwhile the sounds of birds and distant voices still remain although they are hidden behind the fog. As sudden as it appeared, the fog disappears and one is transcended once again into the real world. The series was shot in Nepal two weeks prior to the large earth quake in 2015.
