They are all around us, even though we rarely notice them. The short ends. In every corner of Sweden, they stand firm, showing us a different side of reality. In this book, they are brought to life and given a soul through careful and well-deserved portrayal. Through the lens of collecting, the photographer demonstrates how the often-overlooked can take center stage—both as individuals and as part of something larger. Where simplicity meets refinement and decay. Personality or anonymity. In life and in death, in rain and shine. Step into a world of diversity among buildings, each telling a story from a new perspective.
“In the shadow of the front, they rarely receive the attention they deserve. Often, they have a twin facing the opposite direction, though they seldom look alike. Back to back, they provide the kind of support the long sides couldn’t manage alone. Here, they’re given space. To show their true selves, to step forward as main characters in a story entirely their own.”
