Louise Enhörning: Agape [signed]

Fragmented moments often saturated in colour, sometimes out of focus – as if trying to catch a feeling to be portrayed: Or maybe a feeling that simply is too big for a single photograph. Louise Enhörning's new series of photographs explores love, intimacy, closeness and spiritualism. It is a series that Enhörning refers to as self-portraits.


From the publisher:
Louise Enhörning's latest body of work is a meditation on love of different kinds. The title "Agape" references the Greek term for a form of non-romantic love, affection, charity. The series of photographs with their luminous colours and unearthly atmosphere deal simultaneously with depth and surface, the real and the superficial. In a seemingly random sequence of photographs, a rhythm emerges, weaving a complex web of discovery. Agape and eros – Ancient Greek for love and love – or rather unconditional, mighty love and desire. Distinctions explained and analyzed in the opening, evocative essay by Lars-Erik Hjertström Lappalainen, the Swedish art critic, philosopher, and writer
