Lars Tunbjörk

Více o knize

Initially inspired by Swedish masters such as Christer Str�mholm, as well as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, Lars Tunbj�rk (1956-2015) was one of the great and truly original European photographers. Tunbj�rk's international breakthrough came in 1993 with the photobook <i>Country beside Itself</i>. Celebrated by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger as "an acute observer of modern life," Tunbj�rk's color images amplified the mundane and the absurd in a quietly surreal fashion using the hard light of flash photography, which became his signature style and influenced a subsequent generation of photographers. His best-known photobook series include <i>Office</i> (2001), which depicts office workers in bizarre chance positions, and Home (2003), in which everyday items such as flowers or armchairs are made to reveal a quiet absurdity in Swedish suburbia. With more than 250 images, this volume constitutes the most substantial overview of his work.
