Places beyond, Erik Johansson in Fotografiska - 19 January 2020

I discovered Erik Johansson in 2011 when he presented an installation in Kulturhuset showing a sinkhole in Sergeltorg, in front of Kulturhuset. Until 1 March 2020, Fotografiska organises a large exhibition of Erik Johansson work. Very refreshing, attracting a large crowd, and generating large smiles on the visitor faces. Such as the "Fishy island" realised in 2009, which is really talking to a Baltic sailor!

Fishy Island
See below a few pictures in the exhibition pertaining to the Baltic sea...
Fishing in lakes and archipelagos is indeed one of the activities in the summer mixing generations in the stage.

Look at the clip behind the scene below to see how Erik Johansson prepares his pictures.


Two of the recent works by Erik Johansson are relating to lighthouses. However, I could not find indications of the location of these lighthouses.

Last one standing, 2019
The light keeper, 2018 
Set them free, 2012
In any case, worth looking at. See links below:
