Förlagets information

Kullait is a unique diabase that only exists on the Kullaberg peninsula, one of southern Swedens most striking geological landmarks. Here, the ancient bedrock rises majestically and forms a natural divide between the Kattegatt Sea in the north and the Öresund Strait in the south. I've spent the past few years photographing this landscape using small format film cameras, then developing black and white prints in the darkroom. The resulting images, rich in grain and high contrast, capture the intricate textures of the rocks and cliffs. In addition, I've explored the hidden world within these stones by photographing rock samples from the area under a microscope. This approach reveals fascinating parallels in forms and patterns that resemble those in the visible world around us. My intent with these images is to capture both the drama and the stillness of this location, reflecting its present-day essence as well as its timeless history. Included is a text about the geological history of Kullaberg by Mikael Calner, professor at the Department of Geology at Lund University. The cover features a foldout and is printed on silvery cardboard, reminiscent of the silver used in the analogue photographic process. The final text pages are printed on rust-red paper, echoing the hue of Kullait rock.
