Rana Temporaria

One day I was standing in my garden and the vision came. I saw the frogs cyclus transformation as a serie on photogram 1:1. It was both a biological as well as an art project. Polaroid sponsored the film.  The project was also supported by the WWF, Denmark, that connected me to their printer to make a book for their members. Then it was exhibited in Denmark and the USA.

Frogs are becoming endangered. They need clean water and fresh insects without chemicals.

I found their cyclus from egg , tadpole and frog very interesting. Here I have documented a 93 day cyclus of the danish frog, Rana Temporaria.

The home of tadpole eggs is made of foam.
The soft seclusion from the surroundings assists in ignoring influences.

I released all frogs back to their lake.

In the book you find Poems in danish and english.

Contact me for buying the book.
