Björn Larsson's photographs are based on a collection of naturalistic dioramas in museums in Uppsala and Stockholm, Sweden, and Åbo in Finland, that were created by Gustaf Kolthoff. These were designed in order to observe an artificially constructed “nature” and located in a purpose designed museum. Curious, dreamlike and artificial, the photographs play with illusion and perception and hyperreality. Title of the Swedish edition: Med Björn Larsson mitt i naturen .

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
