OLD TJIKKO [SECOND EDITION] / Nicolai Howalt

デンマーク出身のアーティスト、ニコライ・ホワルト（Nicolai Howalt）の作品集。
作者は、スウェーデンのフルフジェーレット山脈で発見された、樹齢約9600年の世界最古の木と謳われるヨーロッパトウヒの木「Old Tjikko」を撮影。本書は、この1枚のネガフィルムを用いて、97種類もの古い印画紙に同じイメージをプリントした作品をまとめています。印画紙の一部は1940年代に製造されたものも含む、使用期限を長く過ぎてしまった印画紙が使用。陰鬱な暗いものから眩いほどの白い写真、銀塩の化学反応が突然流星群のように現れたものや、濃い霧に包まれたような風景、遥か昔の「Old Tjikko」を写し出しているようにも見えるものまで、1枚のネガから予測不可能な景色の数々が描写されています。ニコライ・ホワルト自身が立ち上げたパートナーとともに出版社、FABRIK BOOKSより刊行された一冊。

The tree, Old Tjikko, stands in a deserted landscape on a mountainside in Dalarna, Sweden, and is considered to be the oldest tree in the world with its impressive age of 9,600 years. A single photographic negative of this exceptional spruce has become the many different photographs in this book. By exposing the same image onto 97 different types of aged analogue light-sensitive photo papers – some dating back as far as the 1940’s – visual artist Nicolai Howalt has created a book, where the unpredictability of the long expired photographic papers has become an integral and dynamic part of each image. The result is an almost organic diversity of perception and expression: 97 different variations of the same motif ranging from gloomy black to ethereal white. Images where the uncontrollable silver halides in the papers create sudden appearances of meteor showers or landscapes seemingly shrouded in dense fog. Questioning the constancy of the photographic image and pointing to the subtle and often overlooked effects of its materiality on our perception, it is as if these imperfections of aging in the papers reveal glimpses of a distant and different time. Dormant traces brought forth into the present by Howalt and the frozen millisecond of a recently captured photographic negative depicting a tree, which in itself stands as a living image of an almost incomprehensible timeline – the passing of millennia. Mycologist Henning Knudsen, philosopher Søren Gosvig Olesen and art historian Lars Kiel Bertelsen contributes to the publication with three essays placing the work in the context of natural sciences and biology, the philosophy of perception and the history of photography.
