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.”
