Tiina Itkonen: Anori - Silence of the Glacier

Tiina Itkonen's exhibition Anori - Silence of the Glacier draws a picture of the lives of the world’s northernmost indigenous people, the Inughuit of northwestern Greenland; their families, communities and landscapes. A landscape threatened by climate change.

Photographic artist Tiina Itkonen has been photographing in Greenland since 1995. Recently she has also photographed in Alaska and the Antarctic. Itkonen has traveled more than 1500 kilometers along the west coast of Greenland by dogsled, fishing boat, sailboat, oil tanker, cargo ship, helicopter and small plane. Along the way she has stayed in small villages and gotten to know local people in Greenland. Itkonen says she spends 5 percent of her time taking photographs and 95 percent getting to know people. The photographer’s language skills and the time she has spent with people have opened doors for her and built mutual trust.
