The photo book Like Birds by photographer Sven Jacobsen takes us back to a carefree time of youthful self-awareness, to a summer full of adventure.

In their immediacy, a timeless dimension develops in his photographs of youngsters experimenting; exuberantly jumping into the water; clambering around on fences, poles, and dunes; being silly; kissing; skateboarding; or simply lying in the tall grass. In this way, the lakes, dunes, or apartments depicted become places in a collective memory.

The spherical landscapes captured in this way-the snapshots of free youth with its beauty, its chaos, its silence, and its loudness-quickly develop a narrative pull. What looks like a light-hearted summer snapshot on the surface may suddenly touch deeper layers of the subconscious.

Industry Reviews
Photographer Sven Jacobsen captures the freedom and energy of youth, as they jump into water, hang off trees, act silly, kiss or simply lie back in the tall grass.-- "Guardian"
Sven Jacobsen's photographs ask interesting questions about innocence and bliss [...] They invite you to recall moments when you felt as alive as the people - family members, friends and models - he depicts.--Tim Adams "Guardian"
