TERRA IGNOTA
— ÅKE E:SON LINDMAN
ART
The chemigrams of Åke E: son Lindman swap the literalness of his highly regarded architecture photos for the uncertain procedure of creating images without a camera or a subject. Using chemicals directly on light-sensitive paper, Terra Ignota, Latin for “foreign lands”, is a series of dreamy landscape-like images. See the special insert in Ark Journal Volume V.
