Voces Nordicae
During the summer 2006, I photographed Lone Larsen and the vocal ensemble Voces Nordicae. They needed some pictures that captured their passion for music. I suggested black&white photographs made by traditional means and I was delighted to hear that the photographic material was included in the booklet of their new CD.
The vocal ensemble Voces Nordicae comes from the scenery of Swedish choral tradition. In 1999 the ensemble wasfounded by the Danish conductor Lone Larsen and it consists of 16 professional singers. The repertoire of Voces Nordicae is varied, including works from essentially all periods of music history, with special attentionto nordic, contemporary, experimental, improvisatory, "cross-over", and ethnic music. Open minded towards new timbres,Voces Nordicae combines a pleasant light blend with surprising and ventured sounds. Repertoire and programs are selectedwith great care, and encompass a wide span of musical and human expression. The interesting variation brings attention and curiosity to the audience.

Invited guest: Loretta Lux
I am very honoured to present the work of Loretta Lux on The F Blog. According to me Loretta is one of the most fascinating modern photographers. But her photographs are also somewhat controversial. Charming, disturbing, wonderful, creepy, repelant, brilliant, kitschy are some of the words that have been used to describe Loretta Lux photographs. ”It doesn’t matter what I intend”, says Loretta. ”People are allowed to think what they please. What matters is whether or not the pictures work” (quote from American Photo Nr 3/2005). I love the photographs of Loretta Lux, but judge for your self!

About her photographs Loretta says: ”An artist picks a subject that he likes, so I picked children because that is what I can most connect with. But my work is not about the children I photograph. It’s not children’s portraits or portraits in a traditional sense. I don’t try to capture the model’s individual psychology. I treat them as a metaphor for childhoold and for innocence. Childhood is an important and most influential part of life. During childhood we learn to live in this world. But childhood cannot be repeated and that is in many ways underfortunate. It is tragic”. (quote from The Sun, New York, May 12, 2005)
