Martina Hoogland Ivanow

About

Born 1973 in Stockholm, Sweden
Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.

For Martina Hoogland Ivanow photography means working with the unconscious, with the technique, but also with reality. In her images, she seeks to create a room for the viewer, rather than asking questions instead of providing the answers.

The photographic process is based on non-linear documentation of social structures and has become an exploration of different behavior patterns and how the self relates to the world. An interest in opposites and human relationships is common to both new as well as earlier works.

Martina Hoogland Ivanow´s images are a visual meditation on distance, both physical and emotional, of closeness to a subject and remoteness from a place. This focus is always apparent in her gorgeous and mysterious photographs in which she often uses dark contrasts.

Martina Hoogland Ivanow´s pictures are visual poetry, now and then keeping hold of a strophe, captured in shadows and fog. The dark, mesmerizing aesthetic of her images conveys a heightened presence, real and simultaneously poetic.

Elephant and Castle

Publisher: Kningdisk 2011

Elephant & Castle is a musical work created by composers Matti Bye and Mattias Olsson. It is a journey through forgotten landscapes and a visit to an abandoned amusement park, to the sounds of an underwater orchestra playing broken barrel organs and strange instruments from a sunken ship.

The album was created in relation to the photographic work of Martina Hoogland Ivanow. Her images were used for inspiration during the recording sessions, as a visual partition for the music.The result is presented in a stunningly beautiful box with a vinyl record, a phonograph cylinder, and fourteen photographs.
