Layers of Light [first edition]

Dag Alveng concentrates our attention on the surface details of the ordinary world. His photographs are not concerned with obvious narratives, but with the emotional power of light, and its ability to illuminate the traces of life that act as a trigger to the imagination: the scarring of walls, a body's impression left on a chair seat, the spread of a stain across a bare floor.This exquisitely printed book is the first major publication of Alveng's collected photographs.
