The Red Straw Collection is a collection of red straws, 100 pieces, which I collected during the years 2006-2008. During this time I have picked up red straw which i found when I have been walking around different cities. Most of the straws have been found i Stockholm, where I live, some of them are found i Göteborg, Visby, Umeå and Östersund. The straw is a common object which exists in different colours. I have chosen the red ones since it´s my favourite colour. They are also the most common sort of straws. The straws differ in shape depending on who has used them and how long they have been laying in the street. The difference between the straws is not very big, but I am interested in the small details that makes every single straw unique.

The straws are scanogrammes, they have been reproduced in a flatbed scanner. The photographs are 420 x 300 mm.
