collaboration with Enda Ahlgren
'Conversations we had before, during and after the photoshoot shaped the painting. The place also had an important say on it. I feel like all the artworks created are an outcome of dialogue between us and the place.’
- Enda Ahlgren
The artistic outcome of this collaboration includes photographs, videos, and a painting. We’ve chosen to share a selection of these works.

While walking through the forest, we simultaneously turned our heads in the same direction — that moment revealed itself as our first shooting location. We gave voice to the place and invited it to become the third collaborator in our process.

I felt as though I could lean against the billion-years-old, cold stone wall for support. The wind blew gently across my bare skin, and I stayed embraced by the branches, embracing them in return.’
