PASSENGER – Martin Bogren

A major figure in contemporary Swedish photography, Martin Bogren is developing a body of work in which the personal and poetic dimension is increasingly asserted, with a practice of photography that is part of a form of initiatory journey. In Passenger, even though the photographs were taken in India during several stays in Calcutta, they should not be seen as an Indian chronicle.

This is something quite different, a form of wandering, not limited to a geographical journey, a test of distance or confrontation with an unknown environment and culture, a change of scenery.

The photographer delivers a set in which a form of abandonment, of letting go, pierces through, which he translates with harsh or dreamlike images. His photographs emerge as subjective visions that reveal ambivalence, angelic or monstrous figures, lightness and violence. For the first time, he incorporates color into his work, which he alternates with great consistency with his black-and-white approach. As a way of developing a language enabling him to experience both the world and himself.”
