South Dakota - I miss you❤️

When in the US, I was asked to come to South Dakota to make pictures for BalletNext. It was one of my highlights in life - everybody was intent on having fun, work hard and just put on a wonderful performance. Thank you Michele Wiles and the dancers from ABT and South Dakota. I was so privileged to be your photographer.

The most beautiful dancer giving the photographer a gift.

New Zine - No One

My new little book/zine - No One - just came back from the printer’s.

One Hundred copies has been made and seven APs going to The Norwegian National Library mostly, all are signed and numbered. The size is A4, paper recycled and the story… I am not sure what it is about. You will have to see for yourself, but there will be words of wisdom from a knowledable, little guineapig in it and musings about that mystery called love.

It is available quite soon at the museum shop at Hå Gamle Prestegård, and so is The Knitted Condom, my former opus. Right now Tronsmo Bokhandel, Oslo’s equivalent to NYC’s Printed Matter, wants to look at it, The Knitted Condom is in commission there already:) - and it is of course available directly from me. It will also be presented during Oslo Photo Art Book festival in September in the presentation done by FFF - Forbundet Frie Fotografer - The Norwegian Association of Art Photographers. I will come back with more information.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions on kbacke19@students.icp.edu
