Human Tonic highlights the relationship between the small everyday episodes and the larger existential questions. The photography of the Norwegian photographer Hans-Olav Forsang challenges the viewer by arousing emotions, recognition and wonder.

After experiencing the value of documentary photography through many years, Forsang had the strong wish to liberate himself from the strict rules in the documentary genre, towards a more liberated approach to photography.
