A visit to the Fotografiska

After having a little rest back at the apartment, we once again headed out, and used the underground to get to Fotografiska, a Centre for contemporary photography. The gallery presents four big and 20 smaller exhibitions each year. It is located in a former industrial building on Stockholm’s waterfront, and there are stunning views from the cafe/restaurant located on the top floor. We saw an exhibition called Secret Times by Cathleen Naundorf. She trained as an artist, and many of her photographs looked like paintings - she uses a graceful meld of photographic techniques with painted art. Specifically, she uses the interplay between light and shadow to produce a mystical atmosphere. We also saw an exhibition by Paul Nicklen and Cristina Mittermeier titled Sealegacy Turning the tide. This was all about the impact humankind has had on the sea, but also those people who respect this most precious resource. Next we saw an exhibition by Evelyn Benxi Cova Merror who stated that “everything I do is a collaborative process and the author of this show is not an individual”. The exhibition is dedicated to all who make my mind grow. The final exhibition was titled Linda McCartney Mary McCartney - Mother Daughter. I have posted photos from each exhibition that particularly resonated with me, as art is such a personal experience.Read more
