Nakna is a culmination of a 3-year studio project by photographer Mikael Schulz. The title translates to "naked" from his native Swedish. The images in the book are the result of an intuitive and collaborative process between Mikael and his subjects. As he states, "We would start the sessions talking about our bodies, how we feel about them including insecurities and self- judgment. With these vulnerabilities we would start experimenting together with movement." The resulting images are kinetic, monumental and uncanny. Mikael's lens challenges us to look more closely at what's before us but also at ourselves.The book is formated as a oversized folio. Individual sheets can be removed, re-arranged or displayed as a poster. "Would I frame this and put it on my wall?", was MIkael's guiding principle when editing images the book.Publication Spring 2021300 EditionsSize 11.625" x 15.5" / 295mm x 368mm 98 Page Poster Folio
