The Species Data Bank has registered 28,417 animal species in Norway. What I want with Observations of a New Norwegian Fauna in the Years 2014-2022 is to document Norway and the landscape through an alternative and expanded Norwegian fauna. A wildlife where we are and where we live. A zoological low-threshold offering; none of the animals are real. None of them are staged.

Helge Skodvin is a photographer born and based in Bergen, Norway. He works for magazines, newspapers, publishers, commercial clients as well as long-term personal projects. Skodvin works mainly in the documentary genre with a strong and distinctive visual style.
