About
From Back Home is one of the most compelling photographic stories of a Sweden that exists far beyond the big cities that have been published in the past few years. Here, internationally renowned photographers Anders Petersen and JH Engström have pointed their cameras at Swedens most romanticized heartland. Their work is exhibited internationally in museums and galleries all over the world. Both grew up in the county of Värmland, and have now returned to give their own account of their heritage. The end result is an affectionate, close, as well as sometimes overwhelming, account of people, events and also places. The book is designed by the award winning graphic designer Greger Ulf Nilson, and has won both the Arles Contemporary Book Award and the Design Bronze Lion in Cannes. The book has also been nominated for Best Swedish Photobook Award.
