Description

In 1999, Jacob Aue Sobol went to live in the settlement of Tiniteqilaaq, Greenland, where he lived the life of a fisherman and hunter with his Greenlandic girlfriend Sabine and her family. Taken over three years, Sobol’s project, Sabine, records, in photographs and narratives, his encounter with his lover and their life on the east coast. “All of my has work descended from Sabine,” says Sobol. “Because that project embodied where I’ve always derived meaning from photography – when there’s an emotional connection with the person or the kind of heightened sensitivity we feel when we’re in love. I need to feel that warmth in order to connect with the pictures, and that’s what I search for.”
