Erling Urheim’s photo archive holds photos taken over 25 years.
I spend the winters between Drag (Norway) and Ålloluokta (Sweden) in the east. The mountains between Hellmobotn (Norway) and Rávdda (Sweden) are my home in the summer. I have been documenting this life in transition with photo, video and sound recordings, from natural housekeeping to digital money and from self-sustenance to feeding fish in weirs. My photo archive covers various aspects of Sami fjord living. I also have access to other photographers’ archives.
