Denmark No Year. This collection of Tim Jørgensen’s photographs on sight reveals his extraordinary eye for beauty in the commonplace. In the Introduction Rune Gade states, “A distinctive evenness pervades these photographs, and attaches to vision rather than to place. In that sense, the photographs are as much about a mode of seeing as about specific locations, despite the fact that, on the face of it, the places come across as the main point. The take on them, however, is at once both quotidian and prosaic, uncommon and esoteric. As though they were visions.”, English/Danish, YearNo Year, Illust. B/W0, Illust.
