How to describe this selection of images…

Well, I’m fascinated by things that are not where they are supposed to be. The tiny cracks in the leather, or the, if you will, splatted bug on the polished façade. Things that makes you wonder “how on earth did it get there”, “who did this” and so forth. Some might call it the decay of values and proclaim the arrival of doom, others will say that our cities and societies have likely always been like this as soon as they grow beyond a certain size.

The following set is made over a period of around a year and half. The idea/concept sort of grew on me and evolved as time passed. It is my longest running project, doubtfully interesting for anyone but myself, but I’ve never let that stop me from posting before. The images are exclusively from the city of Oslo and nothing is arranged, other than through the lens. The images are somewhat consistent, and as you can see I clearly have a fascination for public trash cans. But trash cans tells stories too, are they interesting? I’m not really sure.
