Inuuteq Storch’s photobook Porcelain Souls (2018) is based on his parents’ vernacular photographs from Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) recorded in a period between the late 1960s and early 1980s. This article describes the book’s motifs and montages and asks based on new materialist theories how these photographs create a Greenlandic world from within. Further, the author argues that the photobook in its special way creates a world of entanglements between people, animals, landscapes, and things, and creates recognition and emotional effects that call for a committed, reflective, and empathetic viewer. Henceforth, Porcelain Souls intervenes in the important independence processes that are currently taking place in Greenland by creating empowerment and build new alliances.
