«Quiet by Nature» is a photographic artist book by Louise Bøgelund Saugmann – the series of photographic works is made of layered photographs from Pinseskoven (the Pentacost Forest) on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Over a long period of time, Bøgelund Saugmann has photographed the forest with her medium format camera on different days and seasons. It is said that Pinseskoven once upon a time planted itself from seeds that flew from across the water in Sweden. Today the mythical forest is protected, as it contains and sustains animal and plant life not seen anywhere else in Denmark.

The complete two chapter work by Louise Bøgelund Saugmann, «Quiet by Nature», contains chapter one, 26.01.18, and chapter 2, 55˚35’12.8”N 12˚32’56.2”E, in a beautiful box made to house them both.

Together the two chapters form a complete unit, and, in the world we live in today, when everything often goes very fast, «Quiet by Nature» offers a welcomed respite for you to slow down and breathe with the trees.

Every single box is similar, but unique, due to the mix and match between two types of cardboard (just like a tree in a forest). Due to each box’ uniqueness, colouring, cover and details may vary from the pictures.
