A delicious taste




My favourite fruit is mangosteen. Covered by a smooth, dark-red-purple and black skin, mangosteens look much different from other fruits. When widely opened, the extremely white flesh is revealed in segments.

The street vendor in Zanzibar Town told me that the mangosteen also is called European Mango. But why it is named so he couldn’t tell.

The Cold War is history now





At The Maritime Museum in Stockholm you can now see Göran Forss masterpiece, a model of the Swedish Navies biggest destroyer HMS Halland. Göran Forss started during the Cold War and finished his work when the Cold War was over. It took him over 10.000 hours to finish the model that was built at 1:50 scale and is 242 cm long.

Unna Design was commissioned to design the exhibition and the graphic design. Working together with the skilled Exhibition Producer Elin Harland at The Maritime Museum, was a great pleasure.

Reflections on the Nature of Water





In March 2008 I opened my first solo exhibition. Copenhagen-based percussionist Linda Edsjö talked to me during the opening and asked me if I wanted to make a photo projection for the staging of her diploma recital. One of the pieces she will perform is Reflections on the Nature of Water, composed by Jacob Druckman (1928-1996). It is said about Druckman that he “Devoted himself to the exploration of sound and colour, both instrumental and electronic”.

Linda Edsjö is studying in the soloist class of the Royal Danish Academy of Music and also currently working with contemporary music, electronica, storytellers and choreographers. Regular ensembles: LeLe (flute, percussion and electronics) Harpcore (electronica) Susa (song, marimba/vibraphone and doublebass) and Tesco Value (Cabaret-Punk).
Visit her spot at Myspace.

Anyhow I was thrilled to jump into another photo project and I have been working on the project from time to time since March. Above is one of the photos that may appear in the final projection. It is also fascinating to work with a project without a tight time-schedule. It requires discipline, (of course) but also stimulates my imagination and give me possibilities to explore the colours and different images of water.

Linda Edsjö´ diploma recital is scheduled to autumn 2009.

Not yet










It´s not a big step för the blog community,
but it is a giant leap for me to start this Blog.
I guess I´ll be struggling with the blog tools in the start but the idea is to show some of my work.  Both already published work and exhibitions but also some of my private stuff.
I guess I´m here now. But I cant say I really been here yet, or have done it.
