Reportage in Jyllands-Posten, about Cockfighting, a bloody billion dollar industry. After basketball, it is considered to be the national sport of the Philippines with over 2500 legitimate arenas spread across the country. Before I started to shoot this particle story, it was clear to me I wanted to get some of that spirit in the arenas in the photos, cockfighting is so much more than just two cocks fighting for their life. Anyhow I think it turned out well…

Happy to be part of Hasselblad Foundations – photobook exhibition with the book “Refuge”
Publicerat – Fotoboken i Sverige, at Hasselblad Center 24 feb – 6 may, 2018.
The exhibition contains 200 titles and the selection is based on three themes: the Society, the ego and the Picture. The concepts reflect overall issues that play a major part in photography, and the boundaries collect books that treat and shape the specific topics and perspectives. The photo book is both visual and tactile. Instead of showing the books in displays, published an open exhibition where visitors can browse freely, look in and read the published books.
About the exhibition: short video with curator Niclas Östlind

An exclusive depiction of the minds of war photographers -modern heroes who daily face the perishability of life and feed on death. The year is 1999. For the young Georgian Alex Kvatashidze, the war in Chechnya seems far away. This until he falls in love with a French photographer and only days after they meet, decide to accompany her to the war-torn Delegate. Immediately the dream of becoming a war reporter arises, something he unfortunately never succeeds in. On the other hand, he is given insights into their world for 13 years and depicts how occupational life affected them. “Why do you go to war if you do not need?” – may be one of the top questions the director Alex is trying to answer.
On the spot after the film, we have the warphotographer and Helsingborgare Olof Jarlbro, whose report has been seen in everything from “Esquire” to “Arbetaren” and who went illegally across the border to Syria to document the war.
