Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia

Have you ever tried shooting a big panorama on a square where like a hundred people are trying to unveil a massive photograph of a refugee girl from Ukraine? Me neither until I did just that at Sergels torg a couple of days ago. Part of the Déplacé·e·s, Valeriia by the artist JR. He has travelled the world for several years with these big photos of refugees from different countries. As per usual when it comes to me, I had no previous knowledge that this event would happen, I just walked right into it. And as I took the top photo with my mirrorless Canon R, I could hear the security guards behind me informing each other with what they knew about what was happening, so I decided to stick around for a minute or two. Anywho, the second photo here is a 12 photo panorama shot with my 60mm lens on the old Canon 77D and then stitched together and cropped a bit. The third photo is a classic wide panorama. It is six photos stitched together, photographed the easy way from left to right as I hoped that the people taking part in the project would be standing still for a while. In the fourth photo we can see the artist JR, he is the guy using the megaphone. And in the fifth photo we can see a part of the photo with Valeriia's face.Looks like a problem displaying the third photo in my post, trying to fix that.

Time to turn on the lights again

Turning Stockholm inside out

Riding my bike across Poseidon's Square two days ago I noticed a Van parked near the tunnel where there's no cars allowed. A few people were busy setting something up. My first thought was that they were street vendors setting up shop. A closer look and I figured they were selling bags. A third look and I notice a woman wearing a jacket in the same design as the bags. Turns out this is an international art project. More info here. This is called Oh My Home-Lost&Found. And as it was an art project I did an arty thing myself so this is two photos stacked together. By doing that I got the girl in the yellow rubber boots in the photo and that is always a good thing.
