Background information
"The photo book 'memories people places' by the award-winning Swedish photographer Anders PETERSEN is a photo book containing 28 unpublished images related to 'Ingen har sett allt' (1995), a series set in a psychiatric hospital in Stockholm called Enskede-Skarpnacks psykiatriska sekto, This is the third book in photographer Anders PETERSEN's trilogy after 'Fängelse' [Prison] (1984), photographs in a prison, and 'Rågång till Kärleken' [On the Line of Love] (1991), photographs of a nursing home. What these three books have in common is that they are worlds closed off from society and known only to a limited number of people, such as family members and friends of the residents; a world that Anders PETERSEN has created with his photographs, but it is not a tightly enclosed world surrounded by strong walls, but a world that Anders PETERSEN has created with his photographs. It is a world where ordinary people like us laugh, mourn, imagine, mope, make noises, act funny, and are nostalgic, even when suffering from an illness." (© freely translated, © Superlabo, 2021)
