Lars Tunbjörk
In I Love Bor¬s, photographer Lars Tunbjörk documents his aimless journey around Sweden between 1988 and 1995. His images of ordinary Swedish life take readers to supermarkets, parties, small-town streets, amusement parks, gas stations, TV shows, landscapes and dining tables. Together these photographs reveal a dark and frenzied view of Sweden during the economic recession of the early 90s, and an equally dark take on modern Western society as a whole.
Country beside itself
Photographies de Suède de 1979 à 1991.
Lars Tunbjörk
The largest and most extensive retrospective of Lars Tunbjörk's work ever published. Lars Tunbjörk was inspired by the Swedish masters such as Christer Stromholm, but soon discovered his own style by taking a cue from the American photographers of the 1970s like Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. Tunbjork's images amplified the most mundane and absurd aspects of modern life in a surreal way, using the hard light of flash photography, which became his signature style and influenced a generation of photographers after him. Whatever subject he was documenting, suburbia or offices spaces, he did it in such a revealing way with a stark, clear-eyed honesty layered with a sense of humour. Tunbjörk's work is best experienced in the photo book format. He used the medium to build loose narratives and to showcase his extraordinary projects. He released more than 10 photobooks, which include Home and Vinter. He came to pre-eminence with the now rare book Office, with Martin Parr and Gerry Badger describing him as 'an acute observer of modern life.
Lars Tunbjörk
The photo series Winter portrays a season and a mental state. These pictures are from a country that appears familiar and yet strange. Pubs, desolate housing estates and pizzerias, places that look the same all over Sweden, whether they are in Borås or Stockholm. The cold, the dirty snow, and the artificial lighting create an atmosphere of isolation and alienation, but also of chance encounters and humour. In Home, from the late 1990s, the terser aesthetics refer to memories from Lars Tunbjörks own childhood. It is not a documentation of suburbia or middle-class taste, but a personal exploration of childhood surroundings and the buildings and areas we call home.

The Great American Novel
Philip Roth's richly imagined satiric narrative, The Great American Novel, turns baseball's status as national pastime and myth into an unfettered farce Featuring heroism and perfidy, lively wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee. "Roth is better than he's ever been before.... The prose is electric." (The Atlantic) Gil Gamesh is the only pitcher who ever tried to kill the umpire, and John Baal, The Babe Ruth of the Big House, never hit a home run sober. But you've never heard of them -- or of the Ruppert Mundys, the only homeless big-league ball team in American history -- because of the communist plot and the capitalist scandal that expunged the entire Patriot League from baseball memory.

Ten Series/106 Photographs
Australian photographer Matthew Sleeth is a consummate observer, exploring the world around him with an acute and often humorous eye. His latest project, "Ten Series/106 Photographs," emphasizes how the sequencing of images is an essential part of creating photographic meaning, a conceit with precedents in the work of Ed Ruscha, among others. Sleeth's playfulness, wry sensibility and unorthodox visual style, however, also recall practicing photographers like Lars Tunbjork and Lee Friedlander. With its range of typologies, "Ten Series/106 Photographs" is varied and eclectic. Topics include Japanese women in uniform, tagged trees and plants in an arboretum, "Red" China and Mount Fuji (inspired by old Japanese prints, but with each image taken from a modern vantage point). Through its casual exploration of these disparate themes, this volume offers a view of a contemporary world that is structured on somewhat arbitrary types, categories and systems of classification--all the while making allusions to the role that photography has played in this process.
