Morten Barker's photographic explorations

Morten Barker's work explores landscapes as expansive abstractions that serve as backdrops for memories. The overarching theme is the examination of abstract landscapes as a kind of antidote to fragmented autobiographical recollections. His focus on fractured landscapes has evolved over time, becoming even more fragmented and, at times, moving away from the use of a camera altogether. These landscapes function as pictorial documentation of a mental journey, bridging fragmented memories with a more tangible, corporeal form of recollection. Barker's work involves both creating and understanding landscapes as spaces for discovery, enabling the investigation of an abstract childhood landscape. About.pdf
