After his earlier series on leisure time and the world of office labor, Lars Tunbj???rk returned to his childhood neighborhood to photograph his mother's house. The experience intrigued him, and he continued shooting in similar areas around Sweden. Saturated with other people's personal memories, his photographs convey the peculiar atmosphere of silence familiar in middle-class housing districts, not only in Sweden but in other countries as well. If on the surface his images purport to investigate the private domestic realm in terms of architecture, home decorating styles, and garden culture, as seen in Sweden during the latest two decades, under these multiple, quiet surfaces they reveal apocalyptically more. Home is the final book in a trilogy, following Country beside Itself and Office .

From the publisher: "An emptiness permeates our cities, smaller towns, and moves along the roads. It did not use to be there. When it began to emerge, it went undetected for some time, suppressed beneath a kind of dizzy tipsiness that spread across the country and was everywhere, and which perhaps transformed the very fundamentals of that country. That is why I dread those houses, that sit on the outskirts of any medium sized town, and were constructed in a period of weeks early in the decade. --Goran Greider, writing about Lars Tunbjork's photographs. After his earlier series on leisure time and the world of office labor, Lars Tunbjörk returned to his childhood neighborhood to photograph his mother's house. The experience intrigued him, and he continued shooting in similar areas around Sweden. Saturated with other people's personal memories, his photographs convey the peculiar atmosphere of silence familiar in middle-class housing districts, not only in Sweden but in other countries as well.

Fine/No Jacket-As Issued. np (106pp), 49 color illustrations. Text in English. Designed by Greger Ulf Nilson. With a bibliography and exhibition history. "After his earlier series on leisure time and the world of office labor, Lars Tunbjork returned to his childhood neighborhood to photograph his mother's house. The experience intrigued him, and he continued shooting in similar areas around Sweden. Saturated with other people's personal memories, his photographs convey the peculiar atmosphere of silence familiar in middle-class housing districts". Featuring elegantly detached images of Swedish housing projects, yards and interiors devoid of their occupants, this lovely hardbound catalogue published in conjunction with Goteborg's Hasselblad Center is a worthy successor to the photographer's celebrated "Landet Utom Sig / A Country Beside Itself". A most handsome copy.
