Odin is the second piece in a series Pascal Marty and I have been developing together, following Loki. Where Loki worked with the trickster, mercurial, shape-shifting, perpetually escaping, Odin occupies different mythological territory: the Allfather, a god of wisdom and sacrifice, who gave an eye and hung nine days on the world tree in exchange for knowledge.
The poster image was made with that in mind: a single figure, held in a state that reads as both suspension and intention. We worked again on location in the Swedish landscape, this time with harder, more frontal light.
Something sacrificed. Something gained.
