Hannah Modigh: A snake in the car.
Who would have thought that this pretty, pocket-size Swedish photographer Hannah Modigh has guts to go to places that are both dark, desperate and dangerous. And capture the beauty in them.
The months she spent 2006 in the small coal mining town St. Charles in Virginia, USA, photographing people and their poverty resulted a book Hillbilly Heroin, Honey that won last year Svenska Fotobokspriset, award given to the best Swedish Photobook.
Now a limited selection of those pictures are to be seen in Helsinki. But buy the book, if you want to see more!
Hannah Modigh: Hillbilly Heroin, Honey in Galleria Luova, Albertinkatu 16, 00120 Helsinki until 19.6.2011. Open Tu-Fri 11-18, Sat-Sun 11-16.
