Gälka Warriors by Petter Cohen

Petter Cohen (born 1982) is a Swedish photographer with a passion for the outdoors. He's currently travelling the polar region of Scandinavia with a camera and a camper van in pursuit of landscapes both pristine and altered.

"From the frozen taiga of Gällivares woodlands rises the mountain Dundret. Around the mountain a few young men gathered in the early nineties to snowboard. They glanced at each other from a distance and slowly approached each other in the humble manner of northern Swedish customs. This was the seed of what was to become the legendary snowboard crew Gälka Warriors."

Waste Management Series by Vincent Skoglund

Vincent Skoglund (born 1974) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. His work has been exhibited in galleries and on magazine covers around the world.

“To me, the dump is intriguing. It’s one of the most interesting places. The randomness is so vast. Colors and materials in different states of decay, coming together. I’d rather spend any day walking around on a dump than in a shopping mall. New stuff bores me, I prefer when it’s a bit used or broken. What happens in a product’s life span, the questions that comes up; Why did this particular thing get thrown away? What is the history of all these things?

An endless stream of products made from natures resources, used by mankind for a brief moment in time. Things that inevitably will be shredded and buried away, burned, made into new raw materials, or simply left in nature. I let them live a little bit longer by documenting the bits and pieces in a new context. By now starting a new cycle, this doomed material is now back were it came from, in the new form of photography. Embodying the possible future of the photographic object itself.”
