The Faeroe Isles: Anglais/Allemand/Français - Tapa dura

During his first trip to Iceland in 1991, the Swiss Photographer Marco Paoluzzo stayed on the Faroe Isles for two days. He was immediately mesmerised by the solitary group of islands in the North Atlantic. More birds and sheep than people live on the isles that can be found over 1300 kilometres off the Danish coast. It rains over 300 days a year there yet the climate by no means affects the magic of the sinister and mysterious scenery. Each time the photographer visited the isles, he came closer to their essence and unspoiled wild beauty. He discovered a place beyond time, a refuge where you can dream and enjoy life, a spot that offers peace and a space that seems to stretch forever.

Marco Paoluzzo was born in Biel, Switzerland in 1949. After obtaining a professional education as an industrial photographer and a photographer in advertising and graduating from the School of Photography in Vevey, he began to work in his hometown. Since 'North-Nord', his first book about Iceland, was published, he has been focusing more and more on travel photography.
