A book with 88 photografies made by Verena Winkelmann from the years 2004 through 2008.
The photos show what the artist frames «the immediate and the spectacular». The photos are shot in many different cities and towns in Norway: Drammen, Fredrikstad, Furuset, Bø, Halden, Hamar, Holmestrand, Horten, Hønefoss, Jessheim, Kaldbakken, Kongsberg, Kongsvinger, Kristiansand, Larvik, Moss, Notodden, Oslo, Porsgrunn, Romsås, Sandefjord, Sarpsborg, Skien, Stavern, Stovner, Tønsberg og Østerås.
The 88 photographies creates the book as a paradoxical room of poetry close to life. Within this room there are two texts by two poets: Kjersti Bjørkmo’s ”The time and the sound when I stand in a market place and wait, after buying a bag of flower soil, before meeting with someone I have never met”, and Tomas Espedal’s text without title (in Norwegian) (Østerås 15.juli …)
PLACED is Verena Winkelmanns second book (the book SKIEN was published in 2004).
