"The Photographs in the Vinter series deal with the mental state we enter during the dark period of the year. Between 2004 and 2007, Lars Tunbjörk travelled around Sweden, trying to capture the mood that the winter months put us in here in northern Europe. The project became a way of doing something creative with the feelings of depression that beset him in the winter season. He shows us snowed-in playgrounds, streets and houses, but the selection of pictures also includes interiors, from cafes, restaurants and shops. We see people in their homes, at work or at parties. They have met the photographer Lars Tunbjörk and they connected somehow. This serie of photographs has another tone, another colour range, another temperament than his previous work, yet we recognise his style, his understated humour and frequently absurd subjects."
