Untitled (Hilma, Rif, and Charles, summer 1932)

Appropriated silver/gelatine baryte paper print in white passepartout with black marker annotation and black frame, 51.2 x 60.8 cm incl. frame

The annotation reads: “We now have midnight sun and it’s difficult to sleep, even when we pull the curtains. During the day we also have the nicest weather. I am lying outside in a deck chair every day and am now more tanned and freckled than I’ve ever been before. The snow is disappearing, in many places it’s almost entirely gone, and we can hear the large river roar beneath the snow. But it can’t be long before it breaks open, and Charles says that then it makes so much noise that it’s unbelievable.” The original photograph was taken by Theodora Anike in Scoresbysund/ Ittoqqortoormiit, summer 1932
