A Sudden Drop
Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson, 2015
Measures: 21,1 × 29 × 1,6 cm
Pages: 192
Technique: Glue bound, Offset print
Special edition: 500
A Sudden Drop features photographs of clothing found on streets in a central part of Oslo. The book is part of a larger body of work that includes cartographical material, sculptures and installations. The theme of these works—consumer consumption and decay in a specific geographical area—takes on a somewhat abstract and scientific tone. Jóhannsson’s photographic method follows up ideas he has explored in earlier publications: instrumentality is juxtaposed with temporality yet also infused with consumer aesthetics and technical misunderstandings.
