Excellent, very scarce, second photobook by Krass Clement.
Krass Clement is the most famous Danish photographer. He has fans all over the world.
Most of his books, especially the old ones, are strongly limited and very sought-after.

From the photographer's website:
"Clement's photographic work emerges from two traditions: The Scandinavian melancholy on the one hand and the 'flaneur' tradition from the Parisian school on the other. In his photography Krass is more concerned with capturing a state of mind than with situations. They are less documentary depictions than subjective moods somewhere between spectator and reality. Insisting on an artistic integrity, Krass Clement has created a strong personal body of work with the photobook as his favourite medium".

Krass Clement, born in 1946, trained as a film director, but since his photographic debut "Shadows of Moments" (1978), he has been one of Denmark’s most prominent documentary photographers. He is particularly known for his quiet travel narratives from both Denmark and abroad, with a focus on the human condition.
His tightly composed, classically styled black-and-white images — and later also colour photographs - are marked by a sense of melancholy and an eye for surreal details. He has published a large number of photo books, mostly sold-out (quickly) and very sought-after. Including "Byen bag regnen" (about "Copenhagen", 1987), "Ved døden" (1990), "Af en bys breve" (about "Lisbon", 1993), "Langs Vinden" (1998), "Berlin notat" (2005), "Novemberreijse" (2008) and, of course, "Drum" (1996).
Krass Clement has published 28 (!) books.
