PER BAK JENSEN (b.1949 Danish)
Lot 50 In its solitude, my mind has developed, over time, the capacity to let go of its anchoring in the intellect. I refrain from losing my firm connection to the world by pursuing this ability to let go. My photographs map out the areas in which my mind has wandered.
