Norwegian Polar Heroes
A lonely, fur-clad man on skis – amongst endless icebergs and frozen seas. A tent, a flag, four men in an icy wasteland. The concept of the polar hero would never have existed without photography. “Norske polarheltbilder 1888–1928″ (Images of Norwegian Polar Heroes 1888-1928) is an exhibition which focuses on how the medium of photography has had a central role in creating, staging and consolidating our perceptions of heroes and heroism.
Tank was responsible for the design of the exhibition. See the exhibition at the National Library (Nasjonalbiblioteket), online and as a travelling poster exhibition at libraries across the country, from Nobember 9th 2011 until January 28th 2012.
