The Human Atlas
2014 - 2019
A project about privacy and time.
These photos were taken with IP Cameras (used mainly as security cameras). Most of these devices have public IPs that people use to access them on the web. In terms of photography, accessing these devices allows you to frame, focus and even adjust exposition.
For the last six years I've been browsing thousands of images from hundreds of cameras around the world trying to find moments with photographic value, but mainly as part of a serie that tries to raise its individual questions.
Rapture
2018 - 2019
“Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship."
Sigtuna Trees
2015
Sigtuna is situated at the bay Skarven, stretching around Upplands-Bro and a part of Lake Mälaren.
I shot these seventeen photographs during two days at different light scenarios.
This project it's meant to be a representation of death and aging. The trees in Sigtuna rest by the lake side. The water has started to break the soil beneath them so they are starting to fall slowly into the water.

2010 - 2015
This are fine art projects and some street photography prior to 2015. I used to shoot a lot of street photo while traveling back in the day, but I've lost interest in its "hunting" mechanisms.
