Background information
Complementing the long out-of-print monograph, the catalog volume 'One Picture at a Time' (2009), the photo book 'Signs and Traces' by Gunnar SMOLIANSKY, published in a limited edition of 300 copies, contains largely unpublished images full of poetry. Until shortly before his death, the Swedish photographer went into his darkroom almost daily and made prints of his black-and-white photographs. His quality in this field is also proven by the fact that probably the best prints of Christer STRÖMHOLM's photographs were made by Gunnar SMOLIANSKY. In contrast to Christer STRÖMHOLM - who was mainly involved in the bohemian night scene - Gunnar SMOLIANSKY captured the little things in life with never-ending curiosity and imagination.
Content
This photo volume, 'Signs and Traces' by Swedish photographer Gunnar SMOLIANSKY, contains black and white photographs of things that most people carelessly pass by. Traces of people without the people themselves appearing in the pictures. On streets and in nature." (slightly modified text, © Only Photography, 2016)
