The first photobook by a legendary Swedish photographer. Originally published in 1967, the book included a fragmented narrative of anecdotes based on an interview. Despite a rocky start, with mixed reviews and bad sales, it became one of the most collectible photography books from the mid-twentieth century. This photographic autobiography details travels across the globe in a book constructed as an existentialist diary. Juxtaposing the urbane and the macabre, combining portraiture and street scenes with abstract photographic fragments, the book uses metaphor and visual puns in an unrelenting stream of consciousness. This English edition, translated for the first time, preserves the feel of the original in image, text and layout.
