Graupunkt. Frode & Marcus

“Grey is its own complement, grey has no opposite. The color grey is often associated with aging or the passage of time. Grey may represent a color, grey may be neutral. A point is a 0-dimensional object.”

Frode & Marcus

On assignment from the Paris & Stockholm based publisher Libraryman Co., Ltd. – the Scandinavian photographers duo Frode & Marcus have taken a roadtrip around the twisty mountain roads of Norway. The project resulted in Graupunkt, a photobook including black and white images of Norwegian landscapes and an essay by the New York based writer, critic and editor, Julie Cirelli.
