About
In the Shadow of Dusk is a chronicle about the landscapes of the north and it's ongoing urbanization - the slow decay of the farming community - but also a personal reflection about the experience of growing up in the Swedish countryside. Torn down buildings, old barns and the rural landscape of the north reflects the power of time and how it affects us; the escape from the now and how to find our way home - wherever that is.
The beauty rests in small things that most pass by - the calm and magic stories that the northern country mediates. Scenes in the early morning when the fog lies thick or late at night when the world is still asleep.
This project came about after a revulsive move back to Sweden after years in New York. The landscape and the creatures of the north somehow became a portrayal for my current state of mind - rejected and obscured - constantly searching for a place to call home.
In the Shadow of Dusk addresses issues of hope and hopelessness – and express a story about a long and everlasting wait.
