Review of John Møller: Mirrored, portraits of Good Hope , by Inuuteq Storch (2021). Copenhagen: Rousse Roulette. 312 pp. ISBN 978-87-97324-20-2.

[摘要] The photobook Mirrored, portraits of Good Hope presentsroughly 160 of more than 3000 works by John “Ujuut”Møller (1867–1935), Greenland’s first professional photographer. The images originated in the years 1889–1935.Inuuteq Storch, another Greenlandic photographer, compiled the photographs.The volume begins with a foreword by the eminentgeologist Minik Rosing. Following the images is a shortbiography of Møller by Kirstine Møller (of the GreenlandNational Museum & Archives/Nunatta KatersugaasiviaAllagaateqarfialu) and, lastly, an index with the photograph captions. The two texts and the index are givenin Greenlandic, Danish and English, which invites readers beyond Greenlandic and Danish borders. Anotherexcellent decision was to forego image captions underneath each photograph and instead to gather them in theindex at the end of the volume. Uninterrupted by text,the visual experience is intensified.
