Contrasting artistic mediums and visual expressions; photography and sculptural objects are intertwined in this book made by the artist duo Jenny Magnusson and Patrik Elgström. From the book: In the meeting between the works of Patrik Elgström and Jenny Magnusson, something arises that is both highly tangiable and at the same time difficult to put your finger on. A decisive and many ways active part in what happens in the very place where the objects and images are juxtaposed. Whatever the nature of the place, it is always something more than a backdrop against which the works are displayed. The context is inscribed in the force field created by the meeting between the clearly defined photographs and the objects. At first glance, the differences are striking: often bright and restrainedly expansive the sculptures contrast with the blackness and seriality of the photographs. The works are so different from each other that what happens could easily become more parallel than dialogical. Instead, a movement emerges, in which integrity is preserved while simultaneously evoking something new and common. Particularly interesting in this case is that the physical location is a book, in addition several of the images document encounters in other rooms, which both sharpens and expands the sense of space generated by the works.
