Inka & Niclas: Extensions

Swedish artist duo Inka & Niclas manipulate the visual mechanics of nature photographs and playfully examine the everyday usage of landscape imagery. This book presents a selection of the duo's works; photographs and sculptures, from recent years. 

From the ghostly, transcendental photographs in Family Portraits to the shiny sculptures in Sunset Photography, where panoramic photographs, the kind we all take and fill our phones with but seldom revisit, are used as raw material, stretched out and manipulated into sculptural forms.

The artist duo creates hyperreal photographic utopias that synthesize and question beauty, kitsch, and visual desires in the imagery of the natural world. Misplaced sunsets, bubblegum waves, and full-spectrum panoramas, exaggerate the already beautified landscape photographs we surround ourselves with.

Extensions, Inka & Niclas Lindergård’s third book, is designed by Sepidar Hosseini and includes an essay by curator and writer Olga Krzeszowiec Malmsten.
