MICHAEL SØNDERGAARD

Søndergaards work is concerned with ideas of expressing and defining masculinity and identity. He produces ominously dark and eloquently beautiful portraits of fragile yet powerful subjects. His work is informed by a personal and academic interest in religious studies, after studying religious science (University of Copenhagen), which is the basis for his debut series RITE (2018).

SAVE THE DATES!

Nordic Light Festival of Photography is moving to the autumn and this years festival is 21.–25. of October 2020. To get your tickets, check out Tikkio now! We are adapting to the corona-situation and planning the festival as normal!

Last years theme at Nordic Light was Nordic Now! and we will continue to focus on young Nordic photography. But we will also invite established photographers that represent both the Nordic and international photography scene, and we already have exciting news that we will share in the near future. The artist driven publication Uncertain States Scandinavia is now part of the program committee and will present the young Scandinavian program in a special issue of their magazine, and through exhibitions and talks throughout the festival!
