Sanna Kannisto: Observing Eye

“While shooting I’m close to the birds and observe them, but also they are actively watching me. From my point of view the observation is mutual.” Sanna Kannisto’s book about our feathered friends is astonishing, asthe reader gets to see and admire the birds from a close distance in the extremely detailed images. The book is rich and measured in its artistic endeavour both in structure and every detail. It also provides a background on Kannisto’s working methods at the interface between science and art: Kannisto has collaborated for years with researchers around the world.

Observing Eye is a Photobook Award 2020 finalist.
