Vinter

"I often feel beside myself in the wintertime, and I try to go to warmer and lighter places. But the last couple of years I have traveled into the winter and darkness instead - into areas, conditions and encounters in which I don't really know where the outer and inner begin. And even less where they end." Lars Tunbjörk's photographic explorations of northern Sweden capture the atmosphere of the gloaming winter months in Scandinavia, and the lives of the people who live under those dark skies.

Vinter began as a means of surviving the dark part of the year; it has a correspondingly different mood, color range and temperament from Tunbjörk's previous work, but shares its style, understated humor and often absurd subject matter.
