Pentti Sammallahti
Helsinki (Dog Stretching Under a Tree)

1982

About the Item

Finnish photographer Pentti Sammallahti depicts nature, eroded and broken down by civilization, but does not put man and the environment in opposite camps. He sees an equal relationship, in which the power of brotherhood stemming from the environment frees man of his alienation and cosmic loneliness. His atmospheric black and white photographs highlight the complexities that exist between humans, animals, and the places in which we share space. Pentti Sammallahti was born in Helsinki, Finland, and made his first photograph at age eleven. He has spent most of his career as a photographer traveling widely from Europe, to Siberia, Japan, India, Nepal, Turkey, and South Africa. Since 1979, he has published thirteen books and portfolios and has received awards such as the Samuli Paulaharju Prize of the Finnish Literature Society and the Uusimaa Province Art Prize. Sammallahti’s work can be found in museum collections including the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Victoria & Albert Museum, London, England; Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, France; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Moderna Museet / Fotografiska Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; and The Finnish State Collections and the Photographic Museum of Finland.
