Trollenwandeling 2026
The Trollenwandeling turns a quiet woodland path into something between a sculpture trail and a small adventure. The figures appear gradually between leaves, timber bridges and pockets of sunlight, giving every part of the walk its own sense of scale.
I photographed the route as a sequence of discoveries. From a distance the trolls blend into the browns and greens of the forest; closer up, individual pieces of timber become faces, hands and expressions that feel unexpectedly alive.
The path between the sculptures mattered just as much as the figures themselves. Boardwalks, dense branches and changing light created pauses in the story, letting each new troll arrive without the series becoming a simple catalogue.
On colour film the walk held onto its warm, handmade character. Sunlight caught the pale wood while the shaded forest stayed cool and deep, making the monumental sculptures feel completely at home among the trees.
