One hundred years after great-grandmother’s birth, great-granddaughter Jessica decides to search for her roots in Tornedalen. She cycles there. With camera and pen, she documents everything that comes her way.
“Tienhaara means crossroads” is a poetic exhibition about the search for a place. A story about longing away and home, about language and silence, about roots and rootlessness. About weaving oneself into a context through time and space.
Jessica Segerberg is a documentary photographer, born in 1989 in Nyköping and living outside Gnesta in Sörmland. She is educated at Nordens Fotoskola, among others, and works on assignments for newspapers, magazines and organizations as well as runs her own photography projects.
The exhibition is bilingual – in both Swedish and the minority language Meänkieli. Jessica’s texts are translated into Meänkieli by Linnéa Nylund.
