New collection from Tuija Lindström

”The photography’s ability to evoke the past has always been a source of fascination for Tuija Lindström. Through the almost alchemical work in the darkroom, pictures appear that can be testimonies to a passage of time once has been, but also dreams and fiction.” (Dragana Vujanovic from the exhibition catalogue A Dream If Ever There Was One)

Tuija Lindström, received the price for Young Promising Artist from the Museum of Modern Art already in Stockholm in 1982, and in the 90’s she had a professorship during a decade in photography at the University in Gothenburg. She is one of Scandinavia’s most eminent female photographers and is well known for both her portraits of the naked female body, like in the series The Girls at Bulls Pond from 1991. But she is also working with urban scenes and dreamlike landscape and animal pictures, often with a dash of surrealism, like Cotswold Park, 1984, where a Zebra is grazing in front of a British, gothic castle.
