Greenland (Fokion Zissiadis)

Greenland is an unfamiliar world for most people–Fokion Zissiadis sets out to change this in his fantastic book of photographs. He shows the country and its people, its flora and fauna in impressive images, and these in turn reflect how deeply passionate he is about the Far North, especially the vast, icy beauty of winter. His photographs are accompanied by a very personal interview, in which Fokion Zissiadis describes how and why Greenland became his focus, and why he initially approached the endeavor a bit too casually. He draws our attention to the indigenous population, but also to the dangers Greenland’s environment is facing.
