Lars Tunbjörk, I Love Borås
9 November 2008 - 25 January 2009For the last 30 years Lars Tunbjörk has been non-judgmentally documenting a consumer society in which globalization is reflected in all-pervading commercialization. "I love Borås!" is inspired by his native town and by Sweden in the 1990s. Lars Tunbjörk sees the world as a colourful reality and attempts to give form to its consistencies and inconsistencies. Tunbjörk's hyperrealism is a kind of democratic photography : everything must be represented… He gives ugliness, vulgarity and banality the same importance as things that are selective, sober and exclusive.
In parallel, Galerie VU' presents Vinter, an exhibition by Lars Tunbjörk.
