L’Institut Suédois in Paris is presenting Un rêve s’il en fut jamais, an exhibition devoted to Swedish photographer Tuija Lindström (b. 1950 in Finland). It gathers photographs taken between 1980 and 1987 and runs through January 18th, 2015.
These original prints were made by the artist herself. The layout of the exhibition is simple and classic, like a return to form, and the pictures are displayed thematically, with some that seem almost subliminal. Soft Scandinavian landscapes alternate with raw shots of bodies. Women, their skin imprinted with the markings of overly tight clothing, are the incarnation of nonconformity in a normalized society.
