$OPENING: (DETAIL) BY JH ENGSTR\u00d6M$

Welcome to the opening of the exhibition (detail) & the book release of 'Dimma / Brume / Mist' by JH Engström at Studio Tabac, Saturday November 22nd.
The exhibition (detail) at Studio Tabac marks the beginning of a transition in JH Engström’s work. A crossover from the physical, external archive of negatives and contact sheets he explored in 'Dimma / Brume / Mist', into his own personal, internal archive. The installation at Tabac is a small part of a much larger body of work Engström is experimenting with, involving materials beyond the photographic still image, and an expansion from beyond the book format and into more spatial presentation.
In the book 'Dimma / Brume / Mist', JH Engström is looking back at 35 years of work. Not with the ambition to present a “best of,” or to resume previous work or books, but with the ambition to celebrate the movements, the reflections, the attempts, and the doing. Every image was roughly scanned directly from the contact sheets. The previously unpublished images are combined with texts written by Engström throughout the 672 page book. 'Dimma/ Brume / Mist' is Engström’s 23rd photographic monograph, and will have an official release on Saturday, November 22nd.
Born in Karlstad in 1969, JH Engström is a Swedish photographer and filmmaker. As a child, his family moved from provincial Sweden to Paris when he was 10. In 1993, he settled in Stockholm and attended Gothenburg University school of photography, graduating in 1997. Engström then moved to New York between 1998–2000. His work has been exhibited widely and is in the collections of important museums. He has authored numerous publications and four films. JH was awarded the Leica Oskar Barnack Prize 2015, the Golden Letter (La Résidence) 2012, the Rencontre d’Arles photobook prize 2009 and shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photographic Prize in 2005, amongst others. Engström lives and works between Paris and Värmland, Sweden.
