His camera eye was sharply revealing and ironic, but not without tenderness. He saw the country from the perspective of the periphery. Always Borås. His gaze was new because he showed what was invisible to us: the image of ourselves and our society. From Borås, Lars Tunbjörk’s career spanned the world. His way of seeing became so powerful that people talked about a ”Tunbjörker” as if it were its own genre. The images that raised so many questions have been integrated into our collective memory. It is photography as narrative, documentation and outstanding art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the photo project Landet utom sig, Lars Tunbjörk’s breakthrough, he seeks out people at campsites, shopping centers and department stores to tell the story of the market economy’s sudden arrival in Sweden, a social development that in the 1990s was also global. With his medium format camera and homemade flash, he created absurdist images full of both humor and sadness. A ’tunbjörkare’ became a concept, and he wrote himself into the history of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLandet utom sig (Country Beside Itself) is a new, updated edition of the original book, first published in 1993. In addition to the original photographs and texts, the book includes a new foreword by Lena Kvist and an updated text by Göran Greider.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-(--sticky-padding-top)\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-3 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Landet utom sig (Country Beside Itself)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lars Tunbjörk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher, Year\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBokforlaget Arena\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English, Swedish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second Edition (new and updated)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 130 pages, 29.5 x 1.7 x 28.1 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e978-9189967175\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TPG Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313305821564,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/5351\/files\/larstunbjork-countrybeyonditself_0adf4fe6-189d-430b-add0-242dbdf8ad30.jpg?v=1786984149","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.thephotographersgallery.org.uk\/products\/lars-tunbjork-country-beyond-itself-landet-utom-sig-new-edition","provider":"TPG Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
