Brödet, handen, ögat, pappretText: Emanuel Cederqvist, Verk tidskrift

"I Bøhmer Løkkens publikation finns det ingen tydlig start eller slut, de lösa delarna gör att berättelsen kan styras av läsaren själv. Publikationen är precis som dansen ordlös, men det är ändå enkelt att ryckas med. Ett tag undrar jag om det är läsarens egen dans som menas med koreografin - publikationens styrka är att dess narrativ på flera sätt lyckas läcka över kanten på pappret och in i rummet jag sitter i.”

Review of Margareta Bergman´s bladi losnar at Collector Daily by Olga Yatskevich

"The photobook includes numerous images of isolated parts of the human body, folded fabrics, surreal fragments of nature, abstract chemical spills, and other organic elements, many of which feel both intriguing and absurd. One spreads pairs a black and white photo of what looks like a close up of hairy man’s legs with a bandage and a pixelated purple shot of bare trees with branches sticking out horizontally. There is a unexpectedly humorous resemblance between these two images."

Review of Mariken Kramer´s book
I Hide Myself Within My Flower at Collector Daily by Olga Yatskevich

“The physicality of this book, in its choices of paper stock, color, and smell, comes together in a sensuously tactile experience. Kramer deals with a very personal and sensitive moment in her life, turning to photography to restore a lost sense of balance.”

Review of Choreography with Potatos and Flour at Collector Daily by Olga Yatskevich

“The position and movement of his hands as he turns flour into dough is fast and precise, sometimes powerful, at other times gentle and delicate. The word “choreography” in the title feels particularly fitting. Working with dough is a very tactile experience and it translates well into the viewers’ experience of the physicality of the book.”

Årets vakreste bok 2019, Grafill;

“ Line Bøhmer Løkkens "Imersed in Stone - Black Ice" er en lavmælt bok som vekker sterke følelser. Ikke minst vekker den et umiddelbart begjær etter å eie den. Den lange sekvensen med utfallende sort-hvitt fotografier i et isdekket landskap vekker en melankolsk følelse som behagelig brytes av noen lyseblå sekvenser under vann - før blikket på nytt møter det sorte.”
