Terra Cognita
Stuart Franklin
Narcissus
Narcissus, a figure from Greek mythology, saw his own reflection in the water, and fell in love with himself. During an exploration of the Norwegian landscape Stuart Franklin noted that he was seeking visual points of reference. His mind descried the shapes of eyes, trolls and icons in tree bark, clumps of grass and water features. They were reflections of his own mind, which provided him with a gateway to reveal an unfamiliar landscape.

THE NEW EUROPE
The European Union began in 1958 with six countries that wished to co-ordinate the production of coal and steel. It now comprises fifteen lands and there are another twelve, primarily from the former Eastern bloc, that have been nominated for membership. EU regulations now cover the environment, defence and agriculture, and extend into all possible details of daily life. Magnum photographer Franklin (b. 1956) investigates the influence of the far-reaching regulations on the look of the new Europe.
