Galleri Image takes great pleasure in presenting Snowboundby the American photographer Lisa M. Robinson.

Lisa M. Robinson's photo series Snowbound is inspired by the Haiku form of Japanese poetry. By observing everyday things close-up, she seeks beauty through uncomplicated language. The formal elements in her photographs present themselves as a parallel to haiku poetry's acute, minimalist verbal images.

Lisa M. Robinson´s photographic landscapes invite viewers to slow down and immerse themselves. The simplicity of the snow-clad landscapes is captivating, and there is something unreal and metaphysical about the images, even though the photographs are grounded in everyday life's nearby surroundings and objects. Lisa M. Robinson's photographs are not meant to be documentary. Her goal is to create an atmosphere.

In "Snowbound," Lisa M. Robinson succeeds in expressing a sensation of the here-and-now which at the same time hints at something larger, lying just beyond the temporal instant that is captured by the camera.

Lisa M. Robinson was born in 1968. She studied photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design (Savannah, Georgia) and English at Columbia University (New York). She has won several awards, and on October 13, 2006 she will receive the ”Outstanding Alumnus Award” from Savannah College of Art and Design.

”Snowbound” is Lisa M. Robinsons first exhibition in Europe. In collaboration with the Jack Leigh Gallery (Savannah, Georgia), Galleri Image is publishing an exhibition catalog with text by Birgitte Hjort Jaritz.

You are cordially invited to the opening on Friday October 6, from 16:00 to 18:00. Lisa M. Robinson will be present at the opening. The exhibition is open from Tuesday - Sunday from 13:00 - 17:
