Lars Tunbjörk is one of Sweden's most internationally recognized and style-defining photographers. He is recognized for his unique depictions of Swedish society and his ability to capture the everyday in people's lives, with humor and sadness. For the first time, previously unpublished images from Tunbjörk's archive are presented side by side with photographs from the cult photo book "Landet utom sig". With a rare eye for the absurdity of everyday life, color compositions and melancholic humor, Lars Tunbjörk captured a Sweden in change - a country that slowly lost the contours of the public home as a new consumer society emerged. The images from shopping malls, office landscapes, campsites and amusement parks changed the photographic contemporary and created a genre all its own: a "tunbjörker".

Tunbjörk’s unique visual language took him far beyond Sweden’s borders. He was published in prestigious international magazines such as The New York Times Magazine, Le Monde and Libération – and exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. But no matter how far he traveled, his main motive remained Sweden.
One might be tempted to think that the exhibition would present a chronological history of the development of art locally in Sweden — but the history of the Edstrand Foundation is about artistic development, and is therefore far from linear, but extends towards broader horizons. The 21 artists chosen to develop this unique history are all proof that the creation of art does not follow a straight, predictable path. Rather, the exhibition challenges the linear perception of time that is widespread in modern society, and points towards contexts that extend across time and space.
