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 />
