Mikkel Hørlyck and Søren Pagter talking at Nordic Seminar at Helsinki Photo Festival


This Friday, September 29, the Helsinki Photo Festival held a Nordic Seminar with focus on the Nordic scene of photographic practice, education and galleries. DMJX alumni Mikkel Hørlyck and teacher Søren Pagter attended the seminar, where they both gave talks.

At his talk at the Nordic Seminar this Friday, Mikkel Hørlyck showed and talked about three of his projects – one of them his final BA-project No Man’s Land that is a reportage about refugees who try to cross the border from Bosnia into the European Union.
