Scenes from an Island is the second monograph by Florence Montmare. This collection of photographs and texts was created between 2014 and 2021, during various stays at the Ingmar Bergman Estate on the Swedish island of Fårö. Divided into three acts, Montmare's series examines the vulnerability of humankind and nature, as reflected in the climate crisis and global conflicts. Set against the dramatic island landscape, which already served Bergman as a source of inspiration and a backdrop for his films, islanders and refugees become protagonists in a photographic reflection on the existential issues of our time. AUTHOR: Vienna-born, Swedish/Greek/American artist Florence Montmare creates photographs, films, performances, installations, and commissions while exhibiting her work internationally. Her first monograph, America Series, was published by Damiani Books in 2023.
