Visit by photographer Krister Hägglund

Come and meet the photographer Krister Hägglund who will talk about his books “Hjortronlandet” and “Missenträsk porträtt”.

Krister Hägglund's images contain a landscape of events shaped by time and transformation. Often occurring are places where there is an alternation between work and leisure, individual and collective, countryside and city, local and global. He works curiously and exploratively with several processes in parallel and sometimes even repetitively as he often returns to the same motif, one and the same "great ditch", or one and the same pine forest.

An aesthetic appeal emerges from his pictorial compositions and series of images, even though the subject may be an object of everyday use – a mirror with a rust stain or a strangely placed electrical cord, dilapidated houses that tell of a time that has passed, a bucket of meat after an elk hunt or pattern formations formed by arranged chairs.

In 2019 and 2021, Krister Hägglund received from Skellefteå Konsthall a design assignment for Sara Kulturhus, where the task was to document Sara Lidman's hometown, Missenträsk and the surrounding area. The assignment would result in a number of permanent works in the staircase foyers of Sara Kulturhus, a catalogue and an exhibition.

In Krister's books "Hjortronlandet" and "isenträskporträtt" there are pictures of the works he has done.
