K Linnea Backe

K. Linnea Backe is a photographer based in Oslo, Norway. She lived in New York City for a couple of years before returning to Norway due to the pandemic. A former musician, she brings elements of movement similar to those of music into her photography. She is a member of FFF, the Norwegian organization for photographers and camera-based artists.

Backe said:

 "As a former musician, the study of tonality and form is important to me, as is the flow of the melodic line. Music is a way of saying without really saying, a medium to hide oneself to reveal oneself. It gives immense freedom but the freedom is contained, pared-down, as it is in photography. In photography, singular objects can be the means for looking without telling, for asking questions without giving answers. The examination of these simple objects in time, as they are touched by light, gives the viewer the power to see in darkness."
