Hello fellow travellers, good natured people, friendly viewers and random by passers. It's been a little quite over the last number of weeks due to the meltdown of my quaint pc, but after a miraculose recovery operation,I am back on track again.

As the viewer might have spotted there is a variety of the material displayed on the blog, which boils back to my notion of not staying too long in one corner, rather to pass through an endless passage of different states of mind.

"Exhibition poster"

"Volvo car"

I was working with stereotypical images and the for me a great symbol for Sweden at the way people lived were rubbed off on the motor cars that were manufactured in the country. They were in contrary of todays models of same make made to suit the average working family in both terms of price and functionality.

This let on to create the material to make a longer lasting project comparing the visual imagery of Soviet Union and that of Sweden between 1945 -1986.

Death on Highway 501

" Board game where you play the roles of either the German car or the cowboy who both are stranded on the highway. The fight for existence and road safety enables you to speculate the possible outcome.
Far away you can see the city which shines all the way to the point to where the cowboy stands.

The Agreement

" Two suspicious men meet up in a secret place to carry out the agreement. The man in the blue suit has got his arm cut off in a recent gang war, now he has implemented a machine gun unit onto his arm. The man in brown suit is normally a respected CEO of a branch of well known multinational who keeps his sunglasses on in times like this."
