“Stockholm. You are my companion through thick and thin. You see me trying to find my way in your complex labyrinth of squares, streets and cul-de-sacs. I return the gaze. Because it is impossible to evade your beauty, vulnerability and vanity. And your flaws. Your rottenness. I visit places where you bleed, I am there picking your scabs. Sometimes I grow tired of your easily broken promises. But I never give up on you.” In the exhibition A Familiar Place at Stockholm City Museum September 11 - November 17 2024, Simon Johansson showed his hometown Stockholm and its inhabitants. A selection of new photos taken since he was awarded the Lennart af Petersens’ Prize 2023 as well as photos from his Stockholm book ( A Familiar Place , 2018) was shown. The slideshow of photos taken in the Old Town in Stockholm are captured with a Polaroid camera. This catalogue is made in 100 numbered copies and for sale only through Journal’s webshop.
