"Eyes as Big as Plates" by Norwegian photographer Caroline Yoruto and Finnish artist Rita Ikonen. A duo that Rita, who stayed at the Norwegian artist residence in 2011, discovered and met Caroline by searching for a Norwegian photographer in search of a collaborator. This book is a collection of works that summarizes the collaboration, and consists of portrait works of people wearing wearable sculptures made of plants such as plants and trees standing in nature. The beginning of the work seems to have started by dressing as a character appearing in Scandinavian folklore, but it seems that it has changed to an attempt to explore the relationship between humans and nature with each episode. Shooting is carried out not only in Norway and Finland but also in 10 countries such as Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and the people who were the subjects are all elderly people, and more than 50 people participated. The appearance of people standing assimilated into nature is fantastic, and the folkloric worldview and the worldview of contemporary art are fused. Photobook Awards 2017 Nominated Works.
