Historically, Ultima Thule has been a concept for 'the northernmost
boundary with the end of the world', a mythical place. For more
than 200 years artists, writers, scientists and adventurers have
felt the attraction of life on this boundary. In this succession,
Danish photographer Henrik Saxgren (* 1953 in Randers) locates his
work which explores the life in Arctic Greenland. Spread over six
journeys, he spent more than six months in the Thule region. His
photographs document the life of what may be the last generation of
hunters on the sea ice of Thule, hunting and catching the great
(sea) mammals, like their ancestors for centuries before them.
Despite of the physically and mentally challenging conditions,
Saxgren continued his work and created new pictures for which he
even sometimes had to overcome his own fear: pictures that can
supplement the narrative of the Arctic, its drama, its myths.
