Three photographers explore the boundaries between abstraction and documentation, scenic staging and documentary work. Here, the photograph is not simply an image but a living material, memory in movement and a space of reflection. Each taking a unique approach, Linda Hofvander, Erik Gustafsson and Jenny Källman explore the very essence of photography: image, trace, memory…
Each taking a unique approach, Linda Hofvander, Erik Gustafsson and Jenny Källman explore the very essence of photography: image, trace, memory… Their focus of interest is fixing time on a physical medium, thus technical processes and darkroom activities lie at the centre of their practice. Their praxis, which is both conceptual and sensitive, allows for the unexpected, the accidental, emotion.
Linda Hofvander photographs plaster casts of clothes that previously belonged to a deceased loved one. She mounts her black-and-white images on curved media that she displays on bases of different heights painted in the same colours as the clothes. Her installations are a representation of the traditional role of photography to provide a trace of what no longer exists, an imprint of the past.
Curator: Magnus af Petersens
