The photos in this book are my first pictures. I took them in the small town where I lived after completing my military service. I had just turned twenty.
My mother showed me how to develop film and how to print pictures.
I fell in love with photography immediately as I saw the first print emerging in the developer.
I knew at once that this was what I wanted to do.
Since I was very little I frequently looked through my parents photos. They were good amateur photographers. Also the photo books we had at home. So, when I started taking pictures myself I already had a good idea of what a photograph could be.
This is why I was thinking straight away from the start about how I could do something different to what I had already seen. I knew I wanted to be original but I didn’t know how. Anyway, I went out for drives and walks and just tried things. I was living in a boring town where nothing happened. There was nothing to photograph, I thought. But I was lucky. I was forced to create something from a place that to me seemed to be nothing. - Anders Edström
In 2022, Edström went through his archives making a final selection of these photographs shot in and around Enköping. The images convey Edström's recognitions about the place where he lived, his thoughtful restraint with people and the enhancing regard of lived places and nature that today defines his work.
From the text by Jeff Rian:
Anders Edström's first photographs were like memento mori of the last stage in photography's link to truth, before being overwhelmed by computer alterations. The gamut or contrast from black and white was carefully formalized in each photograph, each one a synthetic representation, and each one an artifact in a continued obsession with increasing two-dimensional art's proximity to life and experience.
