About the photographer, Morten BO (b. 1945 in Copenhagen, DK):
Morten BO is a Danish photographer who has specialized in documentary work with a social impact.
His 15 travelling exhibitions in the 1970s and 1980s proved quite controversial.
In the 1980s, he turned to more abstract photography with lines, contours and contrasts of light and shade.
As a member of Delta-Photos from 1967 to 1972, in 1973, he was a co-founder of the Ragnarok group. In line with his interest in promoting the art, he founded Fatamorgana, Denmark's school of art photography, in 1989.
