On Being Slow

My website is not updated so very often, but I like the process of letting photographs wait in my drawer. I look at them from time to time, then scan the negatives and let the files sit in my computer. After a while I make colour corrections and maybe some retouching. And so perhaps, I put them on the site.

On Torbjörn Elensky's Slow Blog I found this wonderful quote: "Plato writes a paragraph in a book, and decades later, Aristotle writes a comment. Centuries later, Plotin or Cusanus respond. Thousands of years later, Nietzsche criticizes Plato's paragraph; and suddenly Heidegger or Adorno may add a comment, just decades after Nietzsche."


Books

Becoming Somebody is a book featuring actors preparing for the stage with an introductory essay by theatre critic and Ingmar Bergman authority Leif Zern. Actors include Sverrir Gudnason, Emelie Jonsson and Shima Niavarani.

Lägesrapport från Aniara consists of three essays around the science-fiction epic Aniara by Swedish poet Harry Martinson. The book includes my photo essay The Sublime and the Ordinary where I've photographed the endeavors of a film production of Aniara. It also contains two texts by astronomer Bengt Gustafsson and poet Anna Hallberg. More information about the books at 2066.se
