Generous in format and richly illustrated, Contemporary Swedish Photography provides an overview of Sweden s photography scene, from the legendary Christer Strömholm to a wide range of over 50 contemporary photographers in alphabetical order, each presented with an introductory text and images. The focus is on art photography but cross-disciplinary photographers working in other fields are also included, making this an essential reference for all who are interested in contemporary Swedish photography. An insightful opening essay sheds light on the local historical context and the medium s technological and conceptual development, while American critic Charlotte Cotton adds an international perspective.
