No Man’s Land is about a close circle of people in a 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. By portraying everyday life in the village, I describe the common ambition to be part of a context. The starting point of the project is my own experience of when that context was taken away from me. After living there for many years the end of a relationship turned into an emotional trauma and I had to leave a much-loved place.
I'm a freelance photographer and journalist/writer based in Stockholm, Sweden. Member of The Swedish Union of Journalists (SJF). 2016 I released the photobook “Across the Bridge” (Journal) about everyday life on the Swedish island Öland. My second photobook, “A Familiar Place” (Journal, 2018), is about everyday life in Stockholm. In 2019 my third photobook "The Young Ones" (Journal) was released. It's about children. In my fourth book, No Man's Land (Journal, 2023), I return to the island I portrayed in my debut book. I prefer to work in a classic documentary black and white tradition.
