Hardcover. Condition: New. In English; newspaper facsimiles in Norwegian. Description: 120 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), facsimiles, portraits ; 25 cm. "For decades the people living in Hessdalen valley in Norway have been obsessed by spotting UFOs. Photographer Ivar Kvaal and writer Ola Vikås visited the valley…to find out why. Ola Vikås writes: Hessdalen had already been drained of its life force when the first lights started to appear in the valley. At a time when the cold war still enveloped Scandinavia in a fog of secrecy and uncertainty, in a climate where people were historically or indeed traditionally 'closed', it took quite some time before anyone dared to speak about what they had seen. Not even the neighbours, who were part of a close yet ever-shrinking community, were aware that they were witnessing the same phenomenon night after night. During the cold nights of December 1981, change finally arrived. The lights that had come to Hessdalen had shone brightly enough to attract the attention of sources that lay outside of the village. With the arrival of an eager press corps, the otherwise remote valley embarked on a whole new chapter in its history. From being a village that did not have anything exceptional to offer - with just a church, a community centre, a general store - Hessdalen soon became a gathering place, a point of reference, for a diverse group whose only common interest was in searching for something they could not understand. The long hoped-for attention, however, only brought ridicule and stigmatisation".

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Suicide is associated with shame, guilt, taboo something we re reluctant to talk about. After a close relative unexpectedly took his life, photographer David Lundmark decided to seek out others who had been affected by suicide privately or through their professional roles. Partly because…he wanted to process his own grief and try to understand what had happened, but also to break the media silence on suicide. The book includes around forty images and a number of quotes, all unconnected to each other but together forming a collective we of chaotic emotions, grief, questions, anger, and observations. David Lundmark wants to show that suicide is a serious social problem how we all co-exist, and that every death affects the living in some way. This is David Lundmark's first book. 40 color images Editing and design: Gösta Flemming, David Lundmark Text: David Lundmark Afterword: Erik Ohlsson Translation to English: Maria Morris Soft cover 150 x 210 mm 112 pages Swedish/English.

Hardcover. Condition: New. In his new book, prize-winning Swedish photographer Simon Johansson returns to the same territory on the Swedish island of Öland that formed the basis of his debut book, Across the Bridge (2016). Now as then, it's not just a tale of everyday observations it's time to tie up loose ends and close the boo…k. No Man's Land is about a close circle of people in a small village on the Swedish island of Öland. Here, farmers live side by side with an artist commune. Their lives and work are intertwined. The farmers become involved in art projects and the artists help with the farming. After living there for many years, Simon Johansson knows the villagers well. He has seen the dynamics close-up. "By portraying everyday life in the village, I describe the common ambition to mean something to others; to be part of a context," Simon Johansson says. "The starting point of the project is my own experience of when that context was taken away from me. The end of a relationship turned into an emotional trauma. It's about how my life in the village is falling apart, and how I then leave a much-loved place." The photographer is currently working on the No Man's Land soundtrack, which will be released on all digital platforms and on vinyl in 2024. 75 b/w images Editing and design: Gösta Flemming, Simon Johansson Text: Simon Johansson Translation to English: Maria Morris Hard cover 220 x 250 mm 148 pages Swedish/English Handwritten text: Maria Jonsson Document and typography: Johan Lindberg.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: New. In 2004, I made the book Trying to Dance, designed by Patric Leo and published by Journal. Since then, it has lived a life of its own, just as books should do. For me, Trying to Dance is more than a book the photographs on which it was based constitute an image universe of its own. Photography then had… a liberating effect on me as a visual artist. I lived mostly in New York, but also in Värmland, Sweden, and travelled a lot in the United States and Europe. Mentally, I was in between worlds, between realities, between the urban and the rural. This was also a period when I questioned and doubted the importance and relevance of photography for me actually. The freedom I so strongly experienced in the process of making Trying to Dance, largely answered my doubts and became a compass for my continued creativity. To start with, I was not at all certain when Gösta Flemming at Journal, Patric Leo and Christian Caujolle, suggested going back to the Trying to Dance negatives. But when I started looking through the files so many images, so many that were not used in Trying to Dance, and so many new combinations that hit me; it was then that I decided that we should publish Revoir. Revoir is a completely new book, a revision, a revisit to that period between the mid-90s and the early 2000s. The book has been made in close and enjoyable collaboration with all the people that I worked with on Trying to Dance. Around two thirds of the photographs have not been published before. For the first time I have scanned the negatives, together with Ewa-Teréz Gölin, and allowed the present to guide me in the printing for Revoir. Christian Caujolle has written a text for the book. This makes me especially happy, since he was the first to whole-heartedly embrace and recognise the photographs then, almost 17 years ago. / JH Engström 174 b/w and colour images Text by Christian Caujolle Translation to English: Frédérique Destribats and to Swedish: Gösta Flemming Editing: Patric Leo, JH Engström, Gösta Flemming Design and layout: Patric Leo Co-published with Akio Nagasawa Publishing Hard cover 225 x 280 mm 244 pages French/English/Swedish.

Hardcover. Condition: New. The Swedish edition of Kent Klich's book on Mexican street children, with photographs taken 1986-96. "Manuel Cappelin, chairman of Casa Allianza says, 'Ten kids arrive daily in Mexico City. Sixty percent of the children come from the country. The remaining 40 percent were born here; sons and daughters…of a new generation, their parents arrived fifteen years or more ago on buses, trains and trailers. Many didn't go any further. They stayed in the train stations, in the Central de Abastos market. Five out of ten kids are engulfed by the street and end up living in the Metro's ventilation systems, sewers, caves, on construction sites, in abandoned houses in which thirty and even forty share two rooms. They also sleep on top of bus stops covered with newspapers and an occasional blanket.'" / From Elena Poniatowska's epilogue 76 b/w images Epilogue by Elena Poniatowska Text by Kent Klich Translation to Swedish: Eva Sjöblom Editor: Gösta Flemming Layout: Tina Enghoff, Kent Klich Design: Tina Enghoff Co-published with Syracuse University Press (English/Spanish language edition; editor: Fred Ritchin) and Tiderne skifter (Danish language edition; editor: Claus Clausen) Hardcover 250 mm x 335 mm 168 pages Swedish 1999.
