Synopsis
As we are nude in the significant moments of our existence, why not every once in a while, throughout our lives, see the nudity in ourselves? One of the questions raised by photographer Arno Rafael Minkkinen. Firstly in Finland’s bare and frozen landscapes, he plays with his body, with nature and shows us his fantastic and witty entanglements. His self-portraits never seek to glorify the photographer’s body, which appears and disappears in his images like an enigma. Writer Michel Tournier sees his photography as Arabic calligraphy, an abstract and sophisticated sign.
