Nature photography event Camera Borealis brings photography presentations to white canvas in Sámi cultural centre Sajos. The theme is Life.
EELLIM, EALLIN, JIE’LLEM, ELÄMÄÄ , LIFE
The eight seasons of Sámi land rhythm the coexistence of nature and people. To some nature is vital for life and to others it’s an endless fountain of content. To some it’s a way of life and fulfillment.
Born in North or later ignited by its powerful effect, one experiences nature as home and respects it in everyday life and during celebrations. Surroundings have their history and their future even though only human thinks this way. Nature lives in the moment, which we save to our memories and pictures. The ever so beautifully raw North offers an eclectic soul scenery to one who opens their heart to fully see it.
