To this end, they have traveled the world and created portraits of 52 people in diverging landscapes. The resulting series of photographs presents people whose age is typically over 50, wrapped in artistic, almost living sculptures made of the most diverse natural materials that Hjorth and Ikonen collected from the subjects' surroundings: their floral, faunal, and fungal cohorts. The sensitively shot photographs open up new aesthetic worlds full of playful effortlessness that convey a strong message: We are nature! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the Norwegian-Finnish duo, it is not just about a successful photographic image. This second volume of the series consolidates these atmospheric portraits with concise descriptions of those portrayed, who, rather than remain solely as props in the picture, present themselves and their life stories. The Field Notes section compiles further photographic material composed around the portraits. The artists offer insights into the portraits' process of creation and provide us with the opportunity to accompany the artists on their journeys.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRiitta Ikonen \u003c\/b\u003e\u0026amp;\u003cb\u003e Karoline Hjorth\u003c\/b\u003e have collaborated since 2011 on publications and projects including \u003ci\u003eEyes as Big as Plates\u003c\/i\u003e (ongoing), \u003ci\u003eThe World in London\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), \u003ci\u003e Time is a ship that never casts anchor\u003c\/i\u003e (2014-18), \u003ci\u003eSignal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLights, Connected for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics\u003c\/i\u003e (2018), \u003ci\u003eTEDMED Talk 2020\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Finnskogen Understories \u003c\/i\u003e(ongoing).
