Blurred figures, smeared lights, desolate streets and the austere outlines of modernist buildings offer a succinct legend of the city in motion, often devoid of any human presence. At times, a portion of a startling profile or the curve of a woman's body vanishing beyond a street corner confront these bold, self-contained cityscapes with an arresting human protagonist. Other photos proffer visions of Oslo's thriving nightlife: your typical music venues and their nocturnal inhabitants are suddenly rendered piquant by the flash of Mortie's camera, manifestly animated by the triple intoxicant of music, spirits and pheromones, as late night euphoria melts into early morning exhaustion. Yet other images selected in this volume present the viewer with the unadorned prettiness of natural landscapes, no humans or human-made artefacts present to distract us from the lucent purity of the vision. Morten's latest offering, in its sparing handsomeness, mirrors my own observations of the city, random and fragmentary as they have always been. The pictures that follow are both Every-city and singularly Oslo. Behold and enjoy.
-Excerpt from Snowflake's foreword
In his 12th photobook, Morten Andersen combines a selection of images from his sold out books, Fast City and Oslo F., and from his more recent publication, Color F., alongside a selection of previously unpublished photographs.
Morten Andersen was born in Akershus, Norway, 1965. He has an extensive self-publishing history. His books cover an eclectic mix of topics from Norwegian punk band TURBONEGRO, Norwegian forests, Oslo, and New York City.
