Punctum Studium

Punctum and Studium

Punctum and Studium The explanation of Roland Barthes theory of punctum and studium in Camera Lucida is a bit unclear to me. I understand the concept, but when looking at this image I certainly can not find the punctum. If you look closely on the eye on the right side of the face, there is a black s-shaped fragment. Since this is the positive of a Polaroid 665 pack film

Empty Space

Empty Space This image and all other images, is like everything else in universe, made up mostly by empty space. What makes things to appear solid is the tension between atom and electron. One can say that this image is not that well composed. That there should be something in the centre of it or I should have used some other elements of composition.  I would argue this image foregoes

Dead Snow, Kiev, Christmas Eve 2017

Dead Snow, Kiev, Christmas Eve 2017 We had a long walk in the outskirts of Kiev and after the some light snowfall, a heavy rain fell. In other words, a most familiar experience and felt like being home.  Analog photograph 30x40cm on Epson inkjet Message me for price and delivery. Order today for a happier tomorrow

Form, Shape and Expression

Form, Shape and Expression Gothenburg, January 1987. Photography as practical technique was presented to the French Academy of Sciences in 1839. 148 years later I made this image. These happenings has no direct relation but the causality is present.

Anderz Harning

An Image of Swedish author Anderz Harning. I made this image of Anderz at Gothenburg Book Fair in September 1991. One could argue that this image lacks most of the qualities that makes a beautiful picture; composition, tonal range and what not. I’m convinced that it is rather the absence of these qualities that makes the image. A few month after this image was made, Anderz Harning passed from accidentally

Time Paradox in Malmoe

        Sometimes out of focus but always super bright in the 90’s. Behind me is Triangeln, besides being a shopping and an amazing piece of architecture, it is the crown jewel of Malmoe. After I made this image Sweden voted yes to the European Union and the city of Malmoe paid an unknown amount of money to marketing consultants to create a slogan which freely translates into

Julafton 1992

Julaftonen 1992 i Mjölby. Silon som dominerade stadsbilden på den lilla orten är numera riven.  Minns tågstationen som på den tiden var bemannad. Där kunde man köpa biljetter för kontanter till resten av Europa, om man fick för sig det. Vad mer fanns här att minnas? En kinarestaurang, biograf och en underutvecklad galleria. Och så silon naturligtvis. Ständigt dessa silos.

Vad finns där nere?

(Dröm) Kvar på kanten vid sjön stod en liten väska. Vad som föregått här är oklart. Kanske en fridykning eller konstsim som gått snett, men var är den andra skon? Innan jag går vidare tittar jag snabbt i väskan utan att hitta något egentligt svar.

Nyboda tunnlar; informell sektor

Nyboda tunnlar Som en del i en workshop i samarbete mellan Stadsarkivet Stockholms stad och Kulturgeografiska institutionen vid Stockholms universitet gör vi en fältstudie om bostadsområdet ”Liljeholmskajen”. Årstadalshamnen som platsen kallades förut var ett industriområde med järnvägsförbindelse med västra stambanan. På 1860-talet sprängdes den första av två tunnlar genom Nybodaberget, ett arbete som utfördes av straffångar från Långholmens fängelse. I fältstudien bestämde jag mig för att titta närmare på de
