Umbra Hominis Graphic Design: Jonas Williamsson. Print: Narayana Press. Edition: 300. Format: 21,5 x 28,5 cm. 200 pages. Offset. Framework: An archive holds an inherent duality. It organizes and categorizes to immortalize, at the same time as it internalizes and hides. A museum is dismantled and finds its terminal storage. A view of the world and its conventional figure is dissolved. The power over our history, and hence our future, lies in how we handle and make use of communal archive systems. An explosive force, created by rearrangements of these archive materials, can displace courses of events, unobtrusive as well as decisive. Consequently, certain collations are altering our collective memories and affecting the writing of history as well as power relations. Participants: Arno Böhler works at the Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria. Mattias Winslow is a librarian at the Nynäshamn Municipal Library, Sweden. Samuel Nyholm is a Swedish graphic designer and illustrator. Formerly part of the Swedish graphic design studio Reala. Selection of clients and collaborators include Tate Etc., Cornel Windlin, Kunsthalle St Gallen, Eric Steinbrecher, Svenska Filminstitute, Vitra, Absolut Vodka, Cneai, Tensta Konsthall, Svenska Dagbladet, Die Zeit, der Spiegel and others.

This book contains photographs whose origins and domicile are under negotiation. The basis of the project is made of the original archive photographs of a series of exhibitions by installation artist Björn Lövin in the 70s and 80s, via images from a digital reconstruction of the same exhibits and ending with documentary photographs from a physical reconstruction process at Moderna Museet in Sweden in 2022. Taking place between the covers of this book is a kind of photographic dissolution and recollection which is the result of many years of researching Björn Lövin’s world. An encounter between visual documentation from different places—from the archives, via a reconstruction in a digital space and back to the physical. The ”image of” moves between different materialities and places, both mental and mechanical. Less accessible spaces that through the images’ existence can be demonstrated and be imagined. What does the image look like after being transfered? The documentation process raised questions about the inherent characteristics of photography, the photographic layers and their relation to each other. When transported, the photographic imprint, its indexicality, is stretched and adjusted, doubling back in the end. While the focus has been on Björn Lövin’s environments, there has at the same time been a dissolution of some of the basic premises of photography: form, thought, meaning change places with light, reflection, glow. And back again. Including essays by Björn Larsson, Lila Lee-Morrison, Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás and forward by Peo Olsson

The Informal Monument is a compilation of material from photographer-duo Willner-Olsson’s long-standing project on heaps. Heaps are an ever-present phenomenon in the history of humankind—burial mounds, trash piles, heaps of leaves, snow, fertilizer. Often a humble, peripheral aspect in both rural and urban landscapes, it is a bearer of stories at the intersection of nature and culture. Each of the 81 selected photographs from Willner-Olsson’s documentation of heaps has its own dedicated spread, encouraging individual contemplation. The Informal Monument further encompasses the duo’s investigative work, relating both to the inherent connotations of the heap, represented in the book in the form of an associative article system, and to its physical characteristics, studied through experimental sessions conducted outdoors and in the studio environment. The book includes the introductory essay “Of a Port in Air” by writer and critic Brian Dillon. The duo Willner -Olsson consists of the photographers Johan Willner and Peo Olsson. They have been working together on projects around landscape and the changes within it since 2015. Both attended the International Center of Photography in New York in the mid-1990s and subsequently graduated with an MFA, Olsson from the School of Photography at the University of Gothenburg and Willner from Konstfack—University of Arts, Crafts and Design. Brian Dillon is an Irish writer and critic based in London. His books include Affinities, Suppose a Sentence, Essayism, and In the Dark Room. His writing has appeared in The Guardian, The New York Times, London Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, Bookforum, frieze, and Artforum. He is also the UK editor of Cabinet Magazine.
