In the two major projects ("32 objects", "98 electrical boxes") which I have been working with during the last years I have related to restricted geographical areas, situated in suburbs to Stockholm and Göteborg. I have through chosen objects, which are common in these areas, wanted to show different aspects of unexplored phenomena in suburban areas. With the two above mentioned works, as a starting-point, I have explored the physical traces human beings leave behind, in the form of footpaths in suburban areas. In these areas there are plenty of parks and other green areas where people are supposed to walk along the already existing paths, not cross lawns and take shortcuts through small woods. These new paths appear due to a strong human will to take the shortest way, in order to save time. This is a condition of life which I believe is common in larger cities all over the world. In this project I want to draw parallels to old romantic photographs and paintings which shows paths that leads in to the woods. I want to show, not an object, but a human behaviour, which is very common all over the world. I will again return to the area around Telefonplan, Stockholm, where I have lived since 1996. This is a series of 50 colour photographs, size 320 X 410 millimetre, and one map, size 600 x 650 millimetre, where the paths are marked out. The title of the work is "52 paths", which is referring to the number of paths I photographed.
