K ristiansund lies in a remote corner of mid-Norway. It is built on a series of islandssurrounding a naturally protected Sound.Until recently it was entirely cut off from the mainland, until adeep tunnel and suspension bridge were built. Historically thetown was supported by the fishing industry, both catching andexporting fish. The local dried, salted cod, "klippfisk", is thetraditional central ingredient in the Portuguese dish Bacalao.

With recent trends in fishing around northern European waters,Kristiansund saw years of decline.

Introduction

A revitalisation of the town has been underway for the lastdecade or two. As the Norwegian oil industry moves its effortsnorthwards, so Kristiansund has found a role as an impotant

support centre for the activities in the mid-Norway region. Evenin the few years I have known the town, there has been adramatic change in its character. The signs of rejuvenation areeverywhere but not at the expense of historic influences.

Now the harbour is a busy mix of pleasure craft, small fishingboats, foreign trawlers, ferries and oil industry vessels.

For several years I lived and worked in Kristiansund but neverpaid it much attention, photographically. Recently I returned fora series of visits, giving me the opportunity to photograph thetown and its surroundings. This allowed me to work as a sort ofinformed outsider - not a resident but with the local knowledgeof one. With these images I hope to capture what is for me the

essence of the town - a beautiful yet remote place with strongconnections to the sea.
