In four years, Jelle Brandt Corstius and photographer Jeroen Toirkens travelled eight times to the northernmost #bossen of the world. They were listening to the people who inhabit these inhospitable regions. How do they live and survive? What do they take from the earth and what do they give back? The last destination is a secluded hut in the wild Alaska. This time they're on their own.
The project
What is it with the forest? As soon as you step between the trees, something changes. The air becomes different, the sounds sound different. The forest is a place where you can feel safe, surrounded by tall trees, the soothing murmur of the leaves, the coolness on a hot summer afternoon. But a forest is also a place that can be mysterious, frightening even. Children lie awake after hearing about dark forests where bandits hide. Since our ancestors climbed out of the trees and entered the savannah, mankind has been fascinated by the forest.
