NOTHING IS LIKE IT USED TO BE
| This project consists of two series of photographs, eight colour prints and ten black and white prints. Part 1, the colour photographs are close-ups on the suburban landscape, where I have focused on objects, mainly litter, which people have left behind. I have chosen to photograph this way from a perspective we seldom watch our surroundings. The litter has become the dominant part of the pictures and more of a threat to us then it is in the reality. In part 2, the black and white photographs I watch the same landscape, but at a distance. The result has been idyllic landscape photographs which are similar to landscape photography from the 40's and 50's. But when you take a close look at them there are also disturbing elements like paperbaskets, graffiti and lampposts. The last years I mainly have been working in suburbs in Göteborg and Stockholm to investigate different phenomena which is common in these kind of areas. Part 1 of the project, the colour prints has been exhibited at Göteborgs Stadsmuseum in May 2000. Both part 1 and 2 was exhibited at Galleri TU, Stockholm in August 2001. |
