Lowlands is an external and internal journey to a place and an atmosphere. Photographer Martin Bogren returned to his childhood village in Skåne for several years to portray the people and surroundings there. But behind the documentary story, an increasingly personal story took shape about childhood memories and adolescence, about longing for and the dream of something bigger than the village. "Some houses have been demolished and others have been built, but still everything seems so familiar. A street, a gate, a crack in a stone staircase, and the bushes over by the public park. Small fragments remind me of what was, and memory fills in the gaps and makes everything alive and real again." Martin Bogren grew up in Skåne and now lives in Malmö. In recent years, his work has been exhibited in Scandinavia, the USA, France, Poland and Italy. In 2008 he published the photo book Ocean, which received the jury's honorable mention at the Swedish Photo Book Award 2009 and also several awards and mentions in international photographic contexts.
