Description: Metsä, the Finnish word for forest, is a selection of photographs from a project wherein Berntsen has set out to do an artistic documentation of the taiga, the landscape connecting the northern parts of Russia, Norway, Finland and Sweden. A flat landscape containing mainly marshland and coniferous forests. The book presents 60 black and white photographs from Northern Finland and Sweden, executed between 2013 and 2015 with a 16 x 21 cm large format camera. The book also has an essay by Jan-Erik Lundström, translated to Finnish, Sami and Russian.
