Depuis quarante-cinq ans, le photographe islandais Ragnar Axelsson observe les fermiers de son pays lors des rassemblements de moutons. Cette tradition séculaire a lieu chaque automne et se déroule souvent à cheval ou à pied. Dans sa troisième publication chez Kehrer Verlag, Axelsson présente des photographies en noir et blanc puissantes et atmosphériques qui documentent de manière impressionnante l’interaction entre les hommes et leurs animaux, ainsi qu’avec le paysage accidenté. De majestueuses collines ondulantes, assiégées par des tempêtes de neige et de pluie rugissantes, des roches de lave rugueuses et des formations rocheuses massives donnent une image réaliste et convaincante du lien extraordinaire entre l’homme et la nature. Le travail d’Axels- son a été récompensé par de nombreux prix, dont le Prix Pictet et le Leica Oskar Barnack Award (Honorable Mention).

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. For forty-five years, Icelandic photographer Ragnar Axelsson has observed the farmers of his homeland during the sheep roundups - a centuries-old tradition that unfolds across the country's dramatic highlands. Every autumn, sheep farmers of Landmannaafrettur uphold this ancient practice of communal herding, navigating the rugged landscape on horseback or foot to gather their flocks from summer pastures. Battling unpredictable weather, they drive the sheep into a central pen for sorting - a ritual unchanged for centuries in one of Iceland's most breathtaking and challenging terrains. Landmannaafrettur, a remote highland region in southern Iceland, is a striking geological landscape shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic shifts, and extreme weather. Situated between the volcano Hekla and the glacial area Jokulheimar, it lies in an active volcanic zone along the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The area hosts multiple volcanic systems and Iceland's largest geothermal site, Landmannalaugar. Glacial erosion and geothermal forces have sculpted an ever-changing terrain of obsidian fields, black sand, steaming fumaroles, and vibrant mineral pools. In Behind Mountains, Axelsson presents powerful, atmospheric black-and-white photographs that vividly document the interaction between people, animals, and the rugged landscape.
