Far Too Close is a collection of works by Swedish photographer Martina Hoogland Ivanoff (1973-). After working in the field of fashion photography, she transitioned to a more introspective documentary style, known for her unique worldview characterized by dense shadows and soft light. Her quiet gaze captures the fluctuations in intimacy and distance inherent in human relationships, imbuing her photographs with a poetic atmosphere. This book compiles works shot over a period of approximately seven years. By interweaving portraits of family and loved ones, as well as fragmented interior scenes, with landscapes from the "edges of the world"—Siberia, Sakhalin, the Kola Peninsula, and Tierra del Fuego—she weaves together a sense of the simultaneous existence of something "too close" and "too far." Faint light shining through the darkness creates unique colors, constructing multilayered images intricately intertwining time, memory, and emotion. Published by SteidlMACK, this book has been internationally acclaimed as a masterpiece that defines her artistic style.
