|Translated by Google translation|
Albin Biblom, photographer and filmmaker who has made several exhibitions internationally, especially in Germany and the Netherlands. Abecita Pop Art and Photography shows three of his major works, The Journals of Jacob Mandeville, Mechkar and Curiosity and Control, which all revolve around our complex relationship to nature.
Albin Biblom was awarded the Swedish Photography Award 2019 by Sandeng and the jury's motivation was:
The jury agrees that Albin Biblom is an artist that the world needs to see, an artist who puts his finger on various kinds of issues that need to be discussed and who shows us where we are going, by showing the past. Photographer and filmmaker Albin Biblom works in a tradition of narrative artists who work with the image as a testimony, both the photographic image and the film. The exhibition raises important questions about man's complex relationship to nature and about our need to want to dominate, masterand control our world. ”
The exhibition has been curated by Dunker's producer Charlotta Jönsson in collaboration with Mia Bengtsson Plynning from the jury. The jury also includes Hasse Persson, Håkan Ludwigson, Nette Johansson, Cooper & Gorfer and Johan Brink. Jonas Wettre at Sandeng is the chairman of the jury.
The exhibition runs from February 25 to October 10, 2021.
