Jakob Hunosøe
February 2, 2010 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Photography
My friend Philip Kennedy who runs the wonderful blog Fieldwork recently took a little tour of the Nordiclands, taking pictures and finding cool things along the way, not to mention making me extremely jealous. One of my favorite finds of his are these photos from Danish photographer Jakob Hunosøe.
Jakob has this sort of magical, to quote Steve Jobs, way of photographing common objects and households. A lot of his photos appear to be mirror images but closer inspection you can see that they’re simply trying to be so. They’re elaborately set-up with even the coffee stains trying to mimic each other. The images remind me of those games you play in bars where you have to notice the 10 things that are different in the naked lady picture… you know what I’m talking about. Jackob currently has a show at the Peter Lav Gallery in Copenhagen, if you’re in the area you should check it out.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.That looks like a loonie and a toonie on the table(s) in the last picture….but it couldn’t be. Could it?
Hey, the third picture is Mexico, isn’t? I could recognize those coins anywhere on the world
You should move to Europe Bobby, it’s the place to be.
