The Hazel Grouse of The Fable Forest
5.6.–8.9.2024
Jani Ylikangas
“As a wildlife photographer, I try to capture the atmosphere, the sensations and the air of mystery that old spruce forests hold. I try to move freely among the wildlife as I capture their life and habitat, staying true to my photography style. Usually, I try to get to know the subjects in advance, as individuals, and get the shot once I’ve established the trust of and a strong connection with the subject.”
The Hazel Grouses of the Fable Forest exhibition is a trip to the dark spruce forest where the shy Hazel Grouse lives. The mysterious bird escapes delicately, but always only a short distance. The poetic texts written about the moments spent with Hazel Grouse support the photos in the exhibition.
