Photography: The Web for the Future ｜ 摄影-为未来织网

In a digital conversation between the Chinese artist Maleonn Ma and the Norwegian artist Tonje Bøe Birkeland, Maleonn urged artists worldwide to build an intellectual and aesthetic network which will bind people together in a more and more fragmented world.

Northing regards photography as such an important form of visual art that not only binds the past with the future but also connects people and cultures from different places.

Northing and Fotobokfestival Oslo (FFO) selected 21 Norwegian photo books for the special focus exhibition at the abC Art Book Fair 2023 in Shanghai to showcase the wide aesthetic and thematic range of Norwegian fine art photography.

Northing also released a new photo book from its own publisher Kinakaal forlag. The title of the book is Lens and Landscape, which is the result of a collaboration project between Maleonn and Tonje Bøe Birkeland.

The project is supported by Royal Norwegian Consulate General in Shanghai and Arts and Culture Norway

Northing and Kinakaal joined Unfold Shanghai Art Book Fair with help of our interns in Shanghai and our collaborating designer Pan Yanrong. Yilei and Ben joined online in the opening talk together with Mr. Pan and presented three new titles from Kinakaal forlag since autumn 2022 as well as two Most Bueatiful Books of the Year Gold-winner-books.

Finally, Norwegian photo books featured in a pop up event at Jiazazhi Press’s show room in Shanghai SeP.
