Jacob Aue Sobol’s second book in “The Green- land Trilogy”
“James’ House” is Jacob Aue Sobol’s second book in “The Green- land Trilogy”. Like his first book “Sabine” from 2004, “James’ House” is a love story too. It’s about the photographer’s love and admiration for an Inuit man and his continuous fight to provide for his family. Jacob Aue Sobol spent many years in Easter Greenland, where he befriended James and his family. James’ house seemed to him like the centre of the universe: a home full of laughter, cry- ing and silence. A place of warmth and embrace. Today James doesn’t live in the house anymore. James’ wife passed away and he moved with his children to the nearest town.
