Thomas Wågström - Necks, Max Ström, 2014, Stockholm

 

Hardcover, text by Karl Ove Knausgård, design by Patrick Leo.

„When I study the photographs in Thomas Wågström’s book, which are of necks, that is what I see. A neck cannot be modern. A neck is in time, belongs to time, but is not formed by it. If these photos could have been taken ten thousand years ago, they would have looked the same. My guess is that even photos of Neanderthal necks would not differ significantly from these. In other words, the neck is untouched by culture, it is, in a certain sense, pure nature. Something that grows in a certain place, the way tree trunks grow, or mussels, fungi, moss.“ (Karl Ove Knausgaard)
