The ongoing photography series Eyes as Big as Plates by
Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen started out in 2011 studying
personifications of nature and folkloric explanations of natural
phenomena. A decade later it has evolved into a continual search
for modern human's belonging in nature, taking the Norwegian-
Finnish artist duo to fifteen countries on a quest to understand
our relationship with our surroundings. This second book in
the series features new portraits produced in collaboration with
retired wrestling coaches, pub patrons, Sami reindeer herders,
Aboriginal uncles, kantele players, librarians, wild boar hunters,
and surfers across four continents. To mark the project's ten-year
anniversary, it also includes contributions from several guest
writers and an extended field notes section revealing the behind-the-
scenes action of each portrait.
