Andreas Martin-Löf + Johan Fowelin // Books and photography
Architecture and photography have an almost 200-year love affair. The ability to transform site-specific, three-dimensional buildings into two-dimensional images, as light as the paper they are printed on, has given photography a unique role in making architecture accessible around the world.
Johan Fowelin's Time Capsule (2018) consists of a series of photographs from Kungsholmstorg 1, taken before Andreas Martin-Löf began the extensive restoration of what later became his home. What could have been a nostalgic 'before' in a 'before and after' reportage is anything but. The photographs capture the viewer with a magical realism. Frozen moments that allow the viewer to fill the now-empty rooms with their own images of the life that once was.
One to One is the first book about Andreas Martin-Löf Architects, published in 2019 by Art and Theory Publishing. The book highlights 20 of the office's projects - from large buildings and interiors to furniture and design objects, including the aforementioned Kungsholmstorg 1. The monograph is generously illustrated and includes a series of essays highlighting Andreas Martin-Löf's practice.
The images in the exhibition at Nordiska Galleriet have not been shown before. Both books and photographs are available for sale.
Vernissage 16 September 2020, 17-19 at Nybrogatan 11.
The exhibition runs 17 September - 30 October 2020.

In Scandinavia, we are used to the fact that there are several flexible shelving systems and storage solutions to choose from, where different parts can be used to customise something that covers all everyday needs. Many people have grown up with shelving systems such as String or Elfa, which have achieved their popularity thanks to an extremely well thought-out design, good choice and relatively easy assembly. However, it is all the more difficult to get a shelving system to suit everyone's needs in terms of different styles, which therefore leaves plenty of room for competition.
