Utkantsliv (2012).
Sara Elgerot Sara Elgerot rareautumn@gmail.com www.rareautumn.com Sweden Utkantsliv Utkantsliv (Swedish for life on the outskirts or life on the margins), is an exploration of an unknown entity for me in my home town of Stockholm – a place now strangely unfamiliar to me after years abroad. I started discovering these anonymous areas on the outskirts of the city, mainly just houses/housing blocks sprung up in close proximity to public transport. I got very interested in these ‘hinterlands’, their strange, careless mix of nature and industrial elements. This book is the result of walks through one of these areas. The photographs are purposefully anonymous and up-close, void of people and wider context, a highly personal view and examination of somewhere strangely impersonal and interchangeable. Size: h: 15cm • w: 20cm Technique: photographs printed with inkjet on matte, double-sided, coated paper (175gsm). Hand-folded, hand-trimmed and hand-sewn, with a soft cover. 24
