FR 02A — Statement
I photograph places at the edge of a change in weather: the minute before a storm closes a valley, the blue hour after it leaves. Nothing is added; a lot is waited for.

Three long walks, three bodies of work.
Each series is shot over several seasons and published as a sequence, never as single images.
Roll 24, Skarvik coast.
Every exposure from nine days on the coast. The amber circles are the frames that became prints; drag the film or use the arrows.

“Ilse’s prints change through the day. At breakfast the lake is grey; by evening it is on fire. We stopped hanging anything else in that room.”
