In Midnight Sun, Aliocha Boi presents an immersion into the heart of the Arctic, where time seems to stretch endlessly, where the summer sun never sets, and where it tirelessly accompanies us throughout the narrative in its ever-changing forms. As a result of an artistic residency, this visual journey from Svalbard to the North Pole explores the raw and shifting beauty of the far north, capturing the fleeting magic of a landscape bathed in light. Between dazzling moments and scenes veiled in mist, each image invites deep contemplation and a reflection on our relationship with the landscape, whether familiar or not. The book does not follow a linear narrative but instead presents a series of visual impressions, where colors and light intertwine in a play of shadows and reflections. Midnight Sun immerses us in an atmosphere of mystery and disorientation, leaving us at the mercy of the elements and their unpredictability. The series is marked by an intense use of color and dramatic contrasts, carefully crafted to recreate the sense of lost bearings experienced by the photographer. It is an invitation to let go and to feel nature in all its silent power. Time flows as the pages turn, offering no fixed points for the reader. It provides a pause, a space to escape the urgency of daily life, allowing the reader to form an intimate connection with a world that is often inaccessible—yet here, it is sublimated through the singular and poetic vision of Aliocha Boi. With a foreword text written by Alizé Carrère, Ph.D. Scientist, Filmmaker & National Geographic Explorer.
