TITLE : ENCOUNTERING STILLNESS
SERIES
AUTHOR : KIMMO SAHAKANGAS
The photographer Kimmo Sahakangas takes us on a route through the American landscape in search of the beauty of isolation.
“Encountering Stillness is an unending photographic journey through an altered American landscape…
a documentary of roadside culture and the road traveled upon… making use of a framed observation
of a somewhat chaotic environment which is tempered in composition. Its subject matter is lacking
people to portray isolation as a visual drama and to distill a quiet beauty in an arbitrary landscape.”
About Kimmo Sahakangas
Photography was a passionate family endeavor. By age 19, a roadtrip to Las Vegas inspired
architectural study. And an interest in photographing the built American landscape for the alluring
roadside tradition. Both film and digital media are utilized.
