Käärme Heliconiassa : Valokuvia sademetsistä = Snake in Heliconia : Photographs From Rain Forests
83: WSOY, 2002. 1st Edition. Soft Cover. Text in English and Finnish. 159 pp.
The rain forests, with their enormous, hidden diversity of species, are perhaps one of the most important examples and symbols of untouched nature of our time. The plants and the small creatures of the rain forest are vividly present, and the light and atmosphere of the rain forest are almost tangible, in the images of the artist and photographer, Sanna Kannisto. With her field studio she has travelled in Brazil, Peru, French Guiana and Costa Rica.
Sanna Kannisto's photographs represent a new way of portraying nature. As well as rain forest scenes, her photographs provide us with a fresh perspective on scientific research, on the traditions in scientific photography, and on the relationship between the natural sciences and the visual arts.
The essays within the book are written by Sanna Kannisto, as well as the artist, Professor Jan Kaila, of the Estonian Academy of Arts, and the researcher, Dr. Kalle Ruokolainen of the University of Turku's Amazon Research Team. Near Fine. Item #3497
