The illustrated book entitled LIKE BIRDS by photographer Sven Jacobsen was just published by Hatje Cantz. Sven Jacobsen takes us back to a carefree time of youthful self-awareness, to a summer full of adventure, lightness and absolute freedom. In their immediacy, a timeless dimension develops in his photographs of youngsters experimenting; exuberantly jumping into the water; clambering around on fences, poles, and dunes; being silly; kissing; skateboarding; or simply lying in the tall grass. In this way, the lakes, dunes, or apartments depicted become places of collective memory.
The spherical landscapes captured in this way – the snapshots of youthful freedom in all its beauty, its chaos, its silence, and its loudness – quickly develop a narrative pull. What looks like a light-hearted summer snapshot on the surface may suddenly touch deeper layers of the subconscious.
Sven Jacobsen : … “If we observe living things long enough, we can see the entire beauty and tragedy of the world in them…”
Sven Jacobsen (*1969) began working as a freelance photographer in 1999 after studying architecture. He is known for his campaigns for major clients such as BMW, Nikon, and Coca-Cola as well as for his editorials for magazines such as Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and Interview.
