K/N/E/U/N is a photographic record of the annual Bristol Bay, Alaska salmon run, documented over 8 seasons. The land, the industry, and its workers are violent, peaceful, resilient, vulnerable: and often misunderstood. Men, boys, women, and girls, labor and rest in sustained shifts against a volatile seascape. Ideas of masculinity thrive and contend with the reality of a life spent, chosen or otherwise, on the open sea.
