“The Known World is a vivid, full color book documenting the span of a romantic relationship between photographers Anne Hall and Sophie Mörner. ‘For three months or so, Anne and I escaped the city, as much as we possibly could, and found the forest wrapping around us,’ says Mörner. The women traveled from New Hampshire to the Catskills, to the woods of northern Florida, and back again. The images and texts included in The Known World are candid relics, remembrances and reimagined fantasies of the magic that occurred during the months Hall and Mörner spent together. With a host of lush, large format photos of flora and fauna, and arrestingly handsome portraits of the two women, the book illustrates a tale of escape from the clamor of daily life into the wilderness. It is a visual history of freed hearts, as seen through the lens of hindsight, a nostalgic glimpse back in time to a place without hurt, regret or misunderstanding.”
