Mussels by Märta Thisner
-In the Shell with Åsa Jungnelius Poem by Tone Schunnesson
Graphic design: Jonas Williamsson Printed at Narayana Press
Mussels is a portrait by photographer Märta Thisner of artist Åsa Jungnelius in her natural habitat. Thisner is present as the seeds are being sown in Jungnelius’ studio and when they’re harvested in her garden in Månsamåla or at the glass-works in Kosta. In the photographs: a not-quite-feral cat, a thinned forest, a unique sculpture with an inner universe. The living encounter the withered, the everyday is visited by the sublime and braided together with ropes of many colors. Openness prevails. The unpaginated pages might seem random or like fragments of memory. Close your eyes and they are still there. What do we remember? What lingers is reformulated over time and assembled in new sequences. In an infinity, relative to life. - - - - - - - - - - - -
’Forty Viewpoints in Seven Instances on the Reconstruction of Two Environments by Björn Lövin’ by Peo Olsson
With essays by Björn Larsson, Lila Lee-Morrison and Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás.

This book contains photographs whose origins and domicile are under negotiation. The basis of the project is made of the original archive photographs of a series of exhibitions by installation artist Björn Lövin in the 70s and 80s, via images from a digital reconstruction of the same exhibits and ending with documentary photographs from a physical reconstruction process at Moderna Museet in Sweden in 2022.

CHART Book &Print: Reading! Saturday 31/8 at 17:00-17:30 in the Deep Reading Garden: Tone Schunnesson, Åsa Jungnelius and Märta Thisner will do a reading of:
Mussels -Märta Thisner
Poem by Tone Schunnesson
Graphic Design by Jonas Williamsson. Format: 17 x 23 cm. 320 pages. Offset.
ISBN 978-91-981854-6-1
Märta Thisner is one of Sweden’s most prominent photographers. Image-search her name and you’ll find a cross-section of recent cultural figures from the worlds of dance, music and literature. Her portraits have an immediate readability, a refined contrast between a careful gaze and the brutal contours of her flash, which seems equally suited to rock and poetry as it does to still-lifes with glass sculptures.
This is how she first came into contact with Åsa Jungnelius — at a photo shoot for the Public Luxury exhibition at Arkdes in 2018. Jungnelius is one of the most respected designers and artists in the country, constantly renegotiating the relationship between the two forms. Although glass is her primary element, Jungnelius’ work is to be considered contemporary art, with its integral parts of social commentary and criticism.
Mussels is a portrait of Jungnelius in her natural habitat 2018–2024. Thisner is present as the seeds are being sown in the studio and when they’re harvested in the garden in Månsamåla or at the glass- works in Kosta. In the photographs: a not-quite-feral cat, a thinned forest, a unique sculpture with an inner universe. The living encounter the withered, the everyday is visited by the sublime and braided together with ropes of many colors. Openness prevails. The unpaginated pages might seem random or like fragments of memory. Close your eyes and they are still there. What do we remember? What lingers is reformulated over time and assembled in new sequences. In an infinity, relative to life.
