Gabriel Isak - Into the blue
Gabriel Isak was born in 1990 in Huskvarna, Sweden. In 2016 he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. His exhibition, Into the Blue, includes works from various collections that Gabriel Isak has created with a strong focus on the color blue. Here the camera has been used as a tool to create images filled with symbols and emotions in surrealist and minimalist landscapes.
The blue thread of the exhibition presents a calm and peaceful atmosphere, touching on themes of melancholy, existentialism, psychology and the dream world. In desolate landscapes with anonymous subjects, the viewer is invited to interact with them, where they can imagine themselves as the subjects, and reflect back on their own life journey and experiences.

In Ewa-Mari Johansson's Supermodels Backstage, we see how the atmosphere backstage goes from the early morning's calm lull in the homely mess of coffee mugs, fixing hair, makeup and trying on clothes - to hyper-focus once the show starts. All chaotic on the surface, but organized in the smallest detail with a military timing, so the right model wears the right clothes in the right order.
