GETAWAY

Getaway is a photobook that plays out in a parallel universe a little closer to the sun. The
Canary Islands – almost exclusively a holiday island for more than 3 million western
tourists a year – is the backdrop of this performance. Five Danish photographers have
been on a photographic expedition to this lost and blazing world and the book is a
collection of images they brought back with them.

In this spectacle you have paella, paradise and sausages of all sizes. An island
that loves you quickly and unconditionally – and the love are mutual and
generous. You get peace and escape on the island of speedos, sunshine and sex
on the beach. You will be seduced, tempted and betrayed.

Getaway is about a place where we enjoy, dream, escape, recover and confront
the absence of everyday life. That fake reality we call vacation.
