Inuuteq Storch and Greenland/Kalaallit Nunaat in Photography

Inuuteq Storch (b. 1989) represented Denmark at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024. It was the first time an artist from Greenland had been selected for the Danish pavilion. A selection from her Biennale exhibition will be presented in Hamburg. Storch photographs everyday life in Greenland, combining his own photos with family photos and portraits by Greenland’s first professional photographer John Møller.  

Mette Sandbye will present and unpack his work within the context of contemporary photography in Greenland as well as historical photographic representations of Greenland and Greenlanders by outsiders. Mette Sandbye is a professor of photography studies in the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen. She has published numerous books and articles on contemporary art photography and photography as part of visual culture. She was the editor of the first Danish history of photography (Dansk Fotografihistorie, 2004), and her two latest books are Striving for Independence. Nordic Women Studio Photographers, 1860-1920 (2026, ed. with Sigrid Lien, De Gruyter) and Fra Instamatic til Instagram. Familiealbummets fortællinger (2025, Strandberg).
