The Downfall: Sensations / Swells
Fredrik Fabó & Lotta Törnroth
20240218 - 20240505
Swells by Lotta Törnroth explores stories at sea, and Fredrik Fabó’s photo series Sensations asks the question – what is it that we don’t know yet, that we are already beginning to feel?
Swells by Lotta Törnroth and Sensations by Fredrik Fabó is a collaboration with Haninge municipality for The Downfall, a new exhibition space under the commuter train track in Vega.
In April 2014, the ship MV Sewol sank off the coast of South Korea. For ten years, Lotta Törnroth has traveled to South Korea and photographed places of significance to the disaster.
“Stories about the sea have always interested me, especially the tragedies that occur at sea and the sorrow that lingers in the aftermath.”
With Sensations, Fredrik Fabó wants to highlight a tradition in art of telling stories, showing feelings and thoughts that are still just sensations but that in retrospect can often be of great importance.
Lotta Törnroth, born in 1981, lives and works in Stockholm. Educated at the University of Photography in Gothenburg and at Aalto University in Helsinki
Fredrik Fabó, born in 1976, lives in Gothenburg, works and has a studio in Gothenburg and Dalsland.
Together with Haninge municipality, a call for a temporary public exhibition in The Downfall was made during the autumn, where two photographers exhibit together in six lightboxes each. A total of four photographers were selected for two exhibition periods.
