Lowlands

Lowlands began with Swiss photographer Ester Vonplon’s 2016 expedition to Spitsbergen in the Arctic Ocean. Sailing aboard a three-masted ship through ice-choked waters, she documented the collapsing glaciers and receding ice. Her analog, weather-worn negatives become tactile testaments to a vanishing world.

Inspired by these visual impressions, Taylor Deupree and Marcus Fischer composed an introspective, slowly unfolding ambient score. Their music and Vonplon’s images are not background and foreground—but a shared space, a dialogue.

Published by IIKKI as part of a cross-media series, the book is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.
The accompanying music is available on Bandcamp.

We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.

Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
