Lars Tunbjörk<br />
I Love Borås<br />
I Love Borås is Lars Tunbjörk’s document of an aimless journey around Sweden between 1988 and 1995.<br />
Supermarkets, parties, small town streets, amusement parks, gas stations, TV-shows, landscapes, food. During that<br />
time Tunbjörk was working on his series Landet utom sig / Country Beside Itself, but these images were not used in<br />
that series because they didn’t fit, they were too ugly, too beautiful or too silly. Together they show a darker and more<br />
hysteric view of modern western society and Sweden during the economic recession of the early nineties.<br />
Lars Tunbjörk was born 1956 in Borås on the Swedish westcoast and now lives and works in Stockholm. He is one of<br />
Swedish most respected photographers. His personal projects are exhibited worldwide. He has published seven<br />
monographs, among them Landet utom sig / Country Beside Itself (1993), Office (2001), Home (published by <strong>Steidl</strong><br />
in 2002) and Dom alla (2003). His work deals with everyday life and the most common things around us. He is a<br />
member of the picture agency VU in Paris.<br />
