e exhibition are the Italian filmdirector, author and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini and Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta, who both died under mysterious circumstances.

Althouth the two main characters of the exhibition never met, Peter Brandt connects them, not only by their deaths, but also through their artistic practices, which respectively often dealt with violence and the body.Based on extensive research in Rome, Ostia, and Bologna and with the Pasolini crime scene as a starting point, the exhibition will examine traces of violence and trauma, materialized in a form of hybrid works between different bodies, narratives and art practices.

dy of the evolution and role of the medium. The festival has been referred to as- "the Think Tank of the Photobook" and is acclaimed for its atmosphere and spirit. After exploring Flatness (2019), and Seriality (2020), this year’s edition of Photobook Week Aarhus will focus on Movement and Transition. The exhibition program will embrace contemporary themes such as migration, globalization and post-colonial thinking, and artistic movements such as Dada and Fluxus.In collaboration with PWA’s great network of Danish and international museums and libraries, this year we will extend our exhibitions to include art objects, historical travel guides and accounting books, which will be exhibited along with art- and photobooks. With the festival we want to highlight libraries as a room for contemplation, concentration and creativity, where the book can be a source of information as well as a material support for artistic practice. This year we will focus on the production of photobooks in countries such as Greenland, The Caribbean and the Caucasus region.

PWA focuses on the rapidly growing international interest in photobooks and represents a continuous study of the evolution and role of the medium. PWA presents the photobook to the general public and to individuals who work professionally with photobooks and photography, be it from an artistic, communication-related or academic standpoint. User involvement, openness and dialogue are key words when it comes to the form and content of the festival. For this reason, PWA has placed great emphasis on inviting a large number of exhibitors and speakers who can present the photobook in a cross-disciplinary perspective. This has made it possible to exhibit significant but rare photobooks that have been discussed by researchers, photographers, leading curators, architects and many other qualified contributors from around the world.Photobook Week Aarhus 2021 is supported by The Politiken Foundation, Dreyers Fond, The Obel Family Foundation, the City of Aarhus (Kulturudviklingspuljen), The Frimodt-Heineke Foundation, Instituto Camões and the Portuguese Embassy in Denmark.

mporary photographs of his hometown Sisimiut (from the upcoming book "Keepers of the Ocean") are presented alongside the archival project ”Mirrored - Portraits of Good Hope”, where he has gotten a hold of photos by Greenland’s first photographer John "Ujuut" Møller from the period 1889-1935.To Inuuteq Storch, the two series of artworks in the exhibition are a part of a larger effort to promote Greenlandic self expression and postcolonial consciousness about national pride and identity. The exhibition connects the works of the two Greenlandic photographers over a period of more than 100 years and explores the development of the geographic identity as seen from the perspective of its people. Inuuteq Storch grew up in Greenland, where the landscape and weather is dominant and where nature rules over life’s rhythms. But the stories being told about life in this landscape have historically been influenced by Danish travelers, whose views on its nature and its people have affected how they have been portrayed. In Storch’s art he is searching for his own visual narrative, as well as that of other Greenlandic people: How do the images look, when they come from within and not from the outside? In conjunction with the exhibition, Galleri Image will organise the symposium Gazes on Greenland (working titel) on 13 November about Greenlandic identity and culture, with a collection of academics and cultural actors. One of the speakers will be the acclaimed author Niviaq Korneliussen, who has been established as one of the key voices in contemporary Greenlandic literature. The Greenlandic-Latvian visual artist Bolatta Silis-Høegh, who was the curator of the exhibition In Our Lifetime - New Art from Greenland, which included works by Inuuteq Storch, will also participate in the symposium. The symposium will be organised at The Greenlandic House Aarhus in a collaboration between Galleri Image, Aarhus Feminist Collective, Rum46 and Art Weekend Aarhus. Inuuteq Storch will also curate an exhibition about phtobooks from Greenland during this year's Photobook Week Aarhus, which will take place from 14 - 17 October.About the artistInuuteq Storch is a photographic artist with a degree from the International Center of Photography in New York and Fatamorgana in Denmark. His art has been exhibited in Greenland, Denmark, USA, Norway and Columbia. He has also published two photobooks:  Porcelain Souls and Flesh.You can visit the artist's website for more information: www.inuuteqstorch.comThe exhibition is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, The A.P.
