Klappentext

A profound photographic and narrative work documenting the lives of Arctic sled dogs in their hostile and unforgiving environment.

Created over three years in Baffin Island, Echoes of the Pack by photographer Guadalupe Laiz focuses on the Arctic dogs, the guardians and partners to the Inuit. Stationed farthest from town, where they live in prolonged isolation, tethered to the sea ice, these individuals are largely unseen and rarely photographed.

Guadalupe’s stark and evocative black-and-white photographs and select color images are simple and direct, without drama or embellishment. Among the photographs are short,
poetic texts written from Guadalupe’s perspective and from the imagined points of view of the dogs themselves—voices that reflect patience, labor, and presence.

Echoes of the Pack brings visibility to a complex subject, shining a light on the Arctic dog, among the strongest and hardiest animals on the planet, who endures one of Earth’s harshest environments. It does so without judgment, and with respect for Inuit culture and leadership, fully acknowledging the history, hardship, and resilience of Inuit communities.
