Artist Talk: Bruno Ehrs - Fotografiska Stockholm

In the 1980s, photographer Bruno Ehrs joined forces with the musician Tom Wolgers in Stockholm. Together, they headed out into the sleeping city’s early mornings, where Ehrs photographed and Wolgers recorded the urban soundscape. Their work resulted in two exhibitions, and just over 30 years later these works are being combined at Fotografiska in the exhibition Stockholm - Pieces of a City. The exhibition, which opens on September 23, creates a photographic and musical backdrop to a city in constant change.
The exhibition, which opens September 23 at Fotografiska, is entitled Stockholm - Pieces of a City. It represents a fusion of the two earlier exhibitions from the 1980s with 52 curated photographs by Ehrs and 23 musical tracks by Wolgers to weave portraits, architectural photography and music together. Its dynamic character reinvigorates both the works and casts new light on Stockholm.
“The exhibit is an interpretation of Stockholm, where Tom Wolgers’ music and Bruno Ehrs’ photographs combine to create a lyrical soundscape with impressions from quiet summer mornings and nightly walkabouts in the city. The music also amplifies the abstract qualities of the photographs, which allows these different forms of expression to approach each other,” says Joakim Geiger, who curated the exhibition together with Niclas Östlind.
