The photographs of Kalle Sanner are contemplative studies of light and its constant transformation. The act of photographing is more central than the subject and location. From Album by Kaller Sanner

An intense portrayal of a seemingly meaningless everyday life. But these intimate close-ups show us something other than just eternally recurring routines. From Apan är rädd by Simon Berg

By accident I rediscovered a twice-exposed film that has been sitting in one of my negative binders for over 20 years. The frames from the first exposure show scenes from a trip to Viborg my brother did in his teens and snaps from what appears to be a house party. In the second overlying exposure, I myself am in two photos, but otherwise the subjects and the photographer are still something of a mystery. A cat appears several times but neither I nor my brother recognize it. A few elderly people are clearly visible but who they are remains an enigma, and in our living room an unknown, stern looking young man is standing behind a sofa.

The Ditch
By Emanuel Cederqvist (Click to view)

The Ditch recounts the story of a forgotten defence line built on Öland, a small island on the east coast of Sweden, during the Second World War. The line was intended to act as an obstacle for tanks, splitting the island into two parts near the village of Föra. In the book, Cederqvist’s images are combined with documentary material from the Swedish War Archive, records which remained classified until the 1980’s.

Work on the defence line was based on a number of strange assumptions and it was not long before things started to go wrong: the ground swallowed more water than planned, the pump was undersized and costs skyrocketed. Eventually, the leader of the project, Raoul Thörnberg, was court-martialed. The so-called ‘Föralinjen’ came to represent a notable failure for the Swedish military, and something they would prefer to forget. Traces of the project – reminiscent of an abandoned piece of land art – remain visible in the landscape.

By Rikard Laving (Click to view)

The images are based on a dream where impaired vision and a shattered lens make the world blurred. But through old photo albums the dream gets a real anchor. Dream and reality are mixed together and become difficult to distinguish from each other. The physical composition of the book encourages the reader to create their own story.

“No small yellow bird warned us of this crisis. Surely, there were other warning signs, but we chose not to see them. Some people might even have chosen to cover them up. I don’t know. I don’t know anything about crises. I read ”a crisis always passes”. I think – a solar eclipse is a kind of crisis. At a total eclipse, the birds turn silent. They don’t start chirping again until the light returns.”

Even though Eclipse is a series of images photographed during a societal crisis in 2015, they portray crises as a phenomenon and a human condition. An engulfing darkness with only glimpses of harsh sunlight is prevalent throughout the book, adding to the surreal feeling of suspense. A shorter text on how crises can arise, their transient state, and how they can constitute a protection for us humans, ends the book.

The pages have been printed with a light gray Pantone color that enhances the experience of light in the otherwise often dark images. On the cover a detail from one of the pictures is foiled in high-gloss silver; a sunscreen that reflects the relentless sunlight.

WONDED BY THE STORM / STORMSKADAD

In the book we encounter a forest where shrubs, log piles and damages made by storms are left unattained. The images investigate the structures, patterns and compositions that are created by decaying branches and tree trunks. And thus they remind us of our own condition: our own physicality and temporality. Collected in a book format, the images generate an intimate space that can be opened up by the reader or carried along by the hand.

A book about life ́s imperfections and incompleteness. A lyric story in photographs and text.


The mountain shutting you in.
The path letting you escape.
Centuries of barbaric violence done to women.
I cry out - Bumblebee Mother Comfort Me!
I need the beauty and consolation she gives me In order to go on living.
Grass of Parnassia porcelain white flowers shine
A plant which fertilizes itself.
She whispers - search for the living spirits among the grass.
That ́s where the she-worlds opens.
Mother of the Bumblebee, comfort me

The Margin of Error
By Emanuel Cederqvist (Click to view)

The Margin of Error is based on two different archive materials that both depict Sarek's National Park in north of Sweden. The pictures are partly Emanuel Cederqvist and partly Axel Hamberg's 100 year old photographs from a relatively unknown archive. As a landscape, Sarek hasn’t changed considerably since the last ice age around 10,000 years ago. The difference between the photographs is almost indistinguishable. It’s only the camera and the position in the landscape that set the pictures apart.

Cederqvist is interested in how the camera was seen as an instrument, a tool to measure, and take control over the nature. His own approach to hiking, and nature in itself, is more an opportunity to let go of control - to be open to the unpredictable.

As a starting point for this project Cederqvist found a story about an weather observer, also named Emanuel, who worked at a weather station in Sarek. In september 1917 the observer disappeared in a snow storm and his body has still not been found.

Imaginary Islands
By Lotta Törnroth (Click to view)

Imaginary Islands takes place on Greenland, in the capital Nuuk where Törnroth is artist-in-residence. The sublime beautiful sea that surrounds the island has allured her to visit. There are many people who have given their life to the sea on Greenland, but there are also many who are dependent on what the sea has to give for survival. In her photographs she expose herself to the ocean. Early mornings, in icing cold and with long photographic exposures she stands and acts with the light from a flashlight as a communicator between the sea and the viewer.

The paintings in the book are made with water from the Labrador Sea that Törnroth has frozen down in small portions. Then she lets them melt on aquarelle paper together with blue gouache. It takes approximately three hours for two decilitres of seawater to melt, and then additionally three days before the water has fully dried onto the paper. The water and the salt from the ocean together with the blue colour shapes a form that can be seen as an island from above.

    Lukas/Markus
    By Kalle Sanner (Click to view)

    Lukas/Markus is the result of a photographic project spanning over a decade. Located in the Western Cemetery in Gothenburg, architect Sven Brolid's two mirrored chapels Saint Lukas and Saint Markus were designed and built in the 1960:s, the era when Swedish functionalism was at its very peak. A stark silhouette in the otherwise sparsely built-up cemetery, the building does little to blend in with its surroundings. However, there is harmony to be found in the fine tuned correspondence between the materials and in the considered, geometrical features giving the building its characteristic appearance.

    During a walk through the cemetery, Kalle Sanner discovered the building and immediately felt a connection to it, prompting him to start exploring the site. As time went by, Sanner continued to return to the building with his large format camera and the project grew along with Sanner's interest in the building and its architect.

    By Casia Bromberg (Click to view)

    A photobook about the body, self-image, performativity and gaze - a queer manifesto for the female body by Casia Bromberg. 

    My body’s so juicy! It can be naked, it can be dressed in silk or leather. It needs a lot of space because it is so juicy. My body has different smells, it can smell differently, taste differently. Many different fluids can come out of it. And at the same time that it does all these things, it also carries so many feelings within. My body’s elastic, it can make all sorts of moves, and transform if I want it to transform. It needs no criticism, ‘cause there’s only one like it, it’s a unique example. One edition, not for sale.

    Artist Casia Bromberg has been creating work for more than a decade by working with self portraits and staging her body in front of her camera.

For out of the cracks from the civilized facade seeps another story forward, the story of a life where every desire is dictated by nature, a nature which tries everything to escape their own terms.

    It is the gaps that interests me, the film is looping caught in the same act. In the decision you phase out the past to begin dealing with the future, a sentence I found in a book about Hannah Arendt. The camera trigger symbolizes the moment by materializing the decision; to decide, release and create an image. In one of my series I have compared this choice with the the choices we make in life, in our everyday life. These decisions are not without consequence, neither for ourself or our surroundings. I become encouraged and find hope reading Arendt, because she gives us the initiative, and thereby also the possibility to act. From under the carpet I decide my next move.

    Ways to describe gathers three photographic series by Linda Hofvander and is put together in collaboration with the graphic designer Magda Lipka Falck. The text in the book, What is at stake?, is in both Swedish and English.

    Linda Hofvander is a young Swedish artist working with photography and film. In her works, the materials used and the specific rules of the photographic image making, are in the centre to create a choreography, and provide the foundation for her images. The bare and simple motifs are loaded by a different way of seeing – where a magic occurs in the factual.

    "The photographs of Kalle Sanner are contemplative studies of light and its constant transformation. The act of photographing is more central than the subject and location.

    There is a painterly quality in Kalle Sanner photographs and the darkest ones recall Mark Rothko’s saturated and rust-red images. He dwells not in the gloom but allows light to guide him through the rooms. He observes how the winter sun’s raking light induces the walls’ surfaces and then lets his eyes wander out the window until the image dissolves into a white cloud. In the images, he focuses on details which, when illuminated, receive a monumental character. His subtle observations of geometric shapes – where tall towers emerge from the shadows – creates a sense of vertigo. If photographs are drawings in light you could say that Kalle Sanner’s portrait of light actually captures the essence of photography."

    By Simon Berg (Click to view)

    The realistic photography of Simon Berg let us view the world from a more physical perspective than we are used to. The claustrophobic close ups of body parts and everyday items break the boundaries of our vision and penetrate deep in to the objects themselves. Like the foot, which can not be viewed as a foot any longer since the focus is on the details; the crooked toes pressed to the floor, the blood filled skin’s pattern and the sharp nails slowly pressing themselves out of the flesh.

    But ”(III)” is also a personal project which revelovement around objects is characterized by melancholy as well as a longing for what used to be. It is closed and stuffy and the scene on which this asocial realism take place is surrounded by a compact darkness that does not let the eyes escape.

    By Emanuel Cederqvist (Click to view)

    Emanuel Cederqvist's photo book "Det som blir kvar" is a moving documentation of what is left of an estate once its contents are divided up and sold off. His photos captures the intermediary stage between one life and the next, whilst retaining the objective gaze of administration.

    "I have been a photographer for real estate agents in Gothenburg since 2009. The homes I visit are often clean, styled and the personal belongings are removed, nevertheless what is private is clearly visible.

    There are many different reasons why a house will be sold. Often it’s because someone’s life situation has changed radically. Separations, births or death.

    There is something extremely sad with the homes where someone has died. There is always a certain sentiment in the air. What remains is a collection of photos from the estates where someone just died, taken between 2009 and 2013."

    By Lotta Törnroth (Click to view)

    "In her series To Wait for the Inevitable: Narratives from the Sea, Lotta Törnroth has weaved a story from that what life is made of and from what we carry inside us. With a delicate dramatic composition, the photographer provides us with opposing pairs: the destructive and the constructive, the worrying and the consoling, darkness and light."

    –  Excerpts from the foreword by Jenny Maria Nilsson, Writer.

    Lotta Törnroth is interested by the power of the sea and the relation between man and the sea. Photography, text and sculpture form a story about the potential catastrophe at sea. What happens within us, just waiting for it to happen and the effect it has after the catastrophe has happened. Being torn between hope and despair, but also the beauty of not giving up. The work is a three-part story including photographs and essays.

    This fictive story takes place in a store where the customers are being helped over the counter. The employees organize the goods for the customers, using utilities like carts and packing lists. At first sight it might look rigid, but in the encounters between the customers and employees, there are humorous and poetic elements. The store exists as a closed space with its own rules and specific knowledge, but sometimes another reality cuts through, a political and social spark that makes everything in the store appear in a new way.

    By Agnes Thor (Click to view)

    Revisiting places that once held a magical element during her childhood, Thor uses her elegant attention to light and detail to provide a visual narrative that draws the viewer into a place where time has stopped and all that remains is the wistful vision she has presented. With a beautifully tragic foreword by the artist, the scene is set for the viewer to explore the four sections of images. Through her pairing of images, a true sense of place is formed where the viewer can’t help but form an attachment to it’s structures, objects, and landscapes.

    Shooting over the course of eight years, it is also a document of time and seasons passing, and a meditation over the Swedish landscape.
