Mesmerising salt flats, ice caps and deserts: Dutch photographer Scarlett Hooft Graafland (1973) photographs magical landscapes in the most remote areas of the world. From Iceland to Madagascar and from Bolivia to Turkey she stages colourful and often mysterious performances and installations. Hooft Graafland stays in those places for long periods of time and always works closely with the local population. She chooses her subjects while she’s there, inspired by nature and the culture of the location. Her personal insights of life return in her work. She addresses topical issues like climate change, inequality and the position of women with humour and surprise. The tranquil images are surprising and enchanting, reality and illusion come together.
