A travelling exhibition documenting fishing in the North Atlantic, launched in June 2008 at the Maritime Museum in Stockholm, is set to open in May at the Nordatlantens Brygge in Copenhagen. After Copenhagen, the exhibition's next stop will be Esbjerg. Read more at www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com.
Prior to that, a project consisting of portraits of Faroese artists was exhibited at the Footstool Gallery in London and the Photo Alternative International in Portugal.
I have also worked extensively with community related projects, which has resulted in several exhibitions expressive of my commitment to images that engage social and humanitarian issues. The photographs portray victimized children, refugees and homeless people, all of whom I managed to get close to in very difficult situations. The projects feature homeless people in New York, handicapped children in Gaza, Palestine, and the Bosnian war including a photo essay on orphans and their daily stuggle to go to school despite the war.
Exhibitions documenting homeless people have been held at various galleries and fairs such as The Alternative Museum on Broadway, New York, the Ledels Gallery in Soho, New York and the Göteborg International Photography Fair.
In the mid 1990s, the Art Academies and several other Swedish universities sponsored a travel exhibition of my images from Bosnia, with the Bosnian war and its impact on social and economic life in Sarajevo as main subject matter.
