“Vetur” means “winter” in Icelandic—a season during whichweather and light can change in the blink of an eye, reshapingvast open spaces into visions of fleeting magic or quiet desola-tion. Lefèvre’s photographs embrace this duality. In often desert-like landscapes where the road becomes the thread of life, hetraces a path through snowbound expanses and glacial silence,capturing moments of both transcendence and austerity.Winters in Iceland can be both mercilessly cold and incrediblybeautiful. The rapidly changing weather and light conditions ofthe winter months transform this quiet, remote country into atrue natural spectacle.In February 2024, Lefèvre explored Iceland for the first time. Thephotographer artfully used the unique Icelandic light, with itshigh contrasts and the magical atmosphere of the isolated,snow-covered environment, to create a sensitive reality in hisimages. The landscapes are almost desert-like, with roads asthe only lifeline.The photographs span a wide range of iconic and lesser-knownIcelandic locations—from the crater lake Kerið and the volcanicKatla region to the dramatic Dettifoss waterfall and the mist-covered peninsulas of Snæfellsnes and Reykjanes. Yet, Lefèvreavoids postcard realism. His Iceland is not about spectacle, butabout essence. Each image pares the landscape down to its qui-et core: a horizon blurred by fog, a single dark stone punctuatinga white field, or a strip of road vanishing into light.Vetur. Frozen Landscapes of Iceland is more than a simple travelalbum or landscape book—the images unfold into a poetic vi-sual story in which each photograph could stand on its own asa striking painting.Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of Pictorialism, the pho-tographs possess a painterly softness, balancing light and tonewith minimalist precision. Their restrained palette and opencompositions evoke a contemplative state—more like medita-tions than documentation. The result is a book that invites slow-ness, reflecting interior landscapes as much as the Icelandic ter-rain: a search for stillness, simplicity, and connection in afragmented world.
