Bio

A few themes persist in Grip Höök’s artistic practise; the spatial, policy indulgence, the past as it exists in the present, the nature of catastrophic events as part of human experience and the primal consciousness we share with all life on earth, plants, animals, birds and insects. By using the power of poetry to focus on the environmental policy Grip Höök attempt to displace the habitual vision and formulate a more discretionary photographic aesthetics.
