Lone figures pause in nebulous moments between what was and what will be. Shrouded in fog and bounded only by painted lines, laden trucks head down unknown roads. A full moon guides wandering pilgrims onward. Abandoned stairs and empty chairs mark the shared journey. Above all, "Elsewhere" is a visual travelogue of a life well lived – full of exotic, yet seemingly familiar places, voyages of adventure and memory – a diary of the shadow and light that makes up a year, a day, a moment. Øyvind Hjelmen creates a passage across continents and through time, only to reunite us at our most humane desire for beauty and wonder. (Tracy Xavia Karner)" - publisher's description.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The delicate black-and-white photographs by Norwegian artist Øyvind Hjelmen are a visual travelogue of a life well lived--full of exotic yet seemingly familiar places, voyages of adventure and memory--a diary of the shadow and light that makes up a year, a day, a moment.
