Photographs by MARC KISKA

This  book  presents a number of selected photos taken by Marc Kiska during the decade 2004 - 2014, including his serie Alt for Norge. A 7 pages preface, written by Lulu, guides the viewer masterfully trough the world and artistic vision of the artist.

Ce livre présente une sélection de photos prises par Marc Kiska au cours des 10 dernières années, dont la série "Alt for Norge". Une préface de Lulu guide le lecteur à travers le monde et la vision artistique de l'artiste. Une plongée dans un monde onirique, sombre, parfois mélancolique, peuplé de garçons adolescents souvent nus, qui illustre les métamorphoses de l'âge tendre.

"The dark and somewhat loaded atmospheres of Kiska´s photographic work allure to the themes of gloom and the sad weight an adolescent is forced to carry when not being accepted; when forced to suffer in silent solitude, under the shadow and tyranny of the normal and self-righteous. This obscurity of some of Kiska´s work can be burdensome. All the same, the images have some sweetness to them, a melancholy and nostalgia in contrast to depression and regret. The photography of the young artist tries to depict a space of resilience that lingers in a youngster’s capacity for dreaming, finding comfort and meaning in his curiosity and wonder, so easily lost and ridiculed on the threshold of adulthood."
