ULTIMA THULE - HENRIK SAXGREN GEBUNDEN

Historically  Ultima Thule has been a concept for 'the northernmost boundary with the end of
the world'  a mythical place. For more than 200 years artists  writers  scientists and
adventurers have felt the attraction of life on this boundary. In this succession  Danish
photographer Henrik Saxgren (* 1953 in Randers) locates his work which explores the life in
Arctic Greenland. Spread over six journeys  he spent more than six months in the Thule region.
His photographs document the life of what may be the last generation of hunters on the sea ice
of Thule  hunting and catching the great (sea) mammals  like their ancestors for centuries
before them. Despite of the physically and mentally challenging conditions  Saxgren continued
his work and created new pictures for which he even sometimes had to overcome his own fear:
pictures that can supplement the narrative of the Arctic  its drama  its myths.
