Mattias Eliasson travels to bogs in central and northern Sweden, the likes of which can only be found in northern Europe. Again and again he encounters Carl von Linné, who explored the wilderness of Laponia almost 300 years earlier. MOOR is a journey of exploration across an undisturbed, peaceful and quiet land that gives the feeling of an ocean, a savannah, a gently undulating, blooming desert. A silent land. That we should let sleep.
