Sigma Artist Talks: Julia Hetta
Sigma are inviting to a series of Artist talks during the exhibition period for 15 Fotografiska Years
Sigma invites you to an afternoon with photographer Julia Hetta, premiering her new book Songen published by Sigma Foundation. The artist talk is moderated by designer and curator Greger Ulf Nilson.
Though a residency in the Aizu region of Japan, Julia Hetta presents a saga as true as it is poetic: a Japanese man seeks the innermost spirit of Art, makes the long journey to Sweden – and ends up back in Japan.
Julia Hetta is a Swedish photographer known for her serene, painterly compositions. Emphasizing natural light and long exposure times, she instils her subjects with a sense of quiet power.
Upcoming talks
February 1: Anders Petersen
An icon of Swedish photography, celebrated for his intense and intimate portrayals of people and environments.
