The second issue of New Danish Documentary was released on Friday, October 24 and three DMJX projects were selected for the publication.
New Danish Photography is a photographic journal established by Disko Bay, Spine Studio and Dansk Dokumentarisme, published every second year. The first edition, New Danish Documentary #01 was published in June 2023. The aim is to look beyond the dichotomy between art and documentary photography as a place to gain our bearings and take stock of Danish Photography right now.

New Danish Photography #2
New Danish Photography #2 contains of 12 series, each unfolding in their own way moments that might offer a glimpse of understanding and meaning. These vastly different photographers represent a selection of the best and most vital photography in Denmark right now.
“These photographers do not produce content – they document, create art and make photographs. We can’t track engagement or measure our reach, but we can try to create an oasis for contemplation and immersion, where you as a reader might lose yourself for a while.” – From the preface by Emil Ryge, Dansk Dokumentarisme.
The three DMJX projects are:
