Published by teNeues in 2023, Fokion Zissiadis’s Greenland offers an expansive photographic examination of the world’s largest island. Measuring more than sixteen inches in height across 356 pages, the large-format hardcover monograph approaches the Arctic territory not merely as remote geography, but as an interconnected ecosystem defined by severe weather, indigenous communities, and shifting environmental balances.

Zissiadis documents the frozen expanses of the Far North through contrasting scales. Wide landscape compositions capture the severe, icy terrain of the Arctic winter, while detailed close-up studies observe local wildlife across land, sea, and air, including polar bears in their native habitat. Throughout the sequence, portraits and scenes of daily life introduce the indigenous population, anchoring the book’s aesthetic focus within the living realities of the region rather than presenting it solely as an uninhabited wilderness.

The volume is complemented by textual contributions that provide critical context to the imagery. A foreword by Greenlandic entrepreneur and actor Svend Hardenberg introduces the island from an insider’s perspective, while an extensive interview with Zissiadis details his personal evolution as a chronicler of the territory. In this dialogue, the photographer addresses his initial assumptions, his growing dedication to the Far North, and the ecological pressures confronting Greenland’s climate and topography.

Presented in an embossed white fabric binding, the book functions as a substantive photographic document of a fragile biome. For collectors of environmental and regional photography, Greenland combines large-scale visual documentation with firsthand perspectives on Arctic life and conservation.
