LIVRE ART BLACK DROP ISLAND KLARA KALLSTROM PHOTOBOOK FIRST EN FRANCE

COINS ABIMES  Blackdrop Island Klara Källström Poem by  Viktor Johansson B-B-B-Books   Hardcover 160 pages 241×304 mm 2011 ISBN: Not available   ‘In Klara Källströms’ Blackdrop Island, she plays with the idiom “to dig where you stand”. What happens if you do that? You come to the other side of the planet.’ – Sinziana Ravini, Microfictions, 2009 The photographs were taken during a stay in Tokyo in 2008 and a revisit in 2010. Documenting things at night, when darkness creates black backdrops and only allows us see a bit of the scenery, is something that occupies Klaras’ interest. It becomes “partially a fictional documentation”, she says. Viktor Johansson has written a poetic suite accompanying the images and the result is shown in the book as two parallel worlds, encapsulated in double-folded sheets. Klara Källström, born April 15, 1984, is a Swedish photographer and artist living in Stockholm.
