ALREADY ELSEWHERE. Play, Identity and Speed in the Business World

Author: Strannegård, Lars, Maria Friberg
Year: 2001
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

The series of photographs illustrates the ability of speed to compress time and space. The body moves at the same speed as the mode of transportation, while one’s thoughts are already somewhere else. The photos are about how quickly you can exist, at least mentally, somewhere else. They portray a feeling of simultaneousness, that everything is happening now. An exciting cutting edge book.

BAROCKENS BOSTAD PÅ LÄCK– SLOTT (The Baroque Quarters at Läckö Castle).

Author: Sjöberg, Lars and Josephine Brandt; Erik Cornelius, photos
Year: 1998
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

A picture book that captures the splendor of this castle during the 1600s. Stunning photographs display both the beauty of the empty castle rooms while also conjuring the former grandeur of these rooms by including examples of furniture and textiles from that period. Though the furniture was often simple in design, the elaborate textiles and decorative arts offset this simplicity to create a perfectly balanced elegance not to be rivaled elsewhere. This book is intended to complete this picture as the refurnishing of the Läckö Castle has begun with this exhibition. The catalog also includes an inventory of the art belonging to Duke Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie from 1681.
