The perfect salesman, an estate agent possessing a developed psychological knowledge of how people think – and how to make people believe that they were making the decisions – when it was always him pulling the strings. I mean he was a good father, but sometimes you could get really annoyed when he was playing those same tricks at home. Near the end of his career I followed him to work in an attempt to get a more complete impression of him, photographing him and his personal belongings. We spent a lot of time together, just the two of us. Though I didn’t really know what it was I was looking for. A few years later at my father’s funeral I was struck by the realisation that his friends seemed to hold a quite different view of him. Not quite the somewhat restrained family patriarch, but more of a gambler and a joker. I found the missing pieces in my parents’ old family photo albums. In the snapshots he was more of an actor playing a role in different scenes, it’s staged photography and he is always acutely aware of the camera, even if he doesn’t always show it. I miss him, and my daughter, with whom he always seemed to have a more relaxed and playful relationship, has had a really hard time dealing with his death. However, I feel that there is still time left for me toplay about with my father, and by now I know that he would have appreciated my light-hearted remake of him. He was born in another time and had to carry on his father’s business, but I know that he had other dreams too and so I seek to show off his other talents.

Mother Without Shadow är en berättelse från olika utsiktsplatser: om att vara förvärvsarbetande kvinna och mamma under andra hälften av 1900-talet i Sverige, om att åldras och livets olika faser, samt ett samtal mellan en mamma och hennes son om ljus och mörker ur barndomen. Det är också en slags uppgörelse mellan barn och förälder om vad vi minns och hur våra gemensamma minnen skiljer sig åt. Mother Without Shadow is a story told from various perspectives: about being a working woman and mother during the second half of the 20th century in Sweden, about aging and the different phases of life, and about a conversation between a mother and her son concerning light and darkness from childhood. It is also a kind of reckoning between parent and child about what we remember and how our shared memories differ.
