        •                Eden (Journal, 2022)

        Eden compiles a series of photographs made by Karl Henrik Edlund, on his late grandfather’s garden island of the same name in the Åland Islands, between 2004-2020.

        Reflecting on his interest in the specific site of Eden, Edlund writes in the book:

        Sea surrounds the island, one of more than 6,700 in the Åland archipelago. The island’s solid bedrock with striations, veins and crevices, shaped by time.

        The place was once rugged; full of scraggy pines, junipers and tall, wild grass. Grandfather cleared and planted broadleaved trees from nearby islets. He constructed a garden with herbs, berry bushes and fruit trees. On the shore he cast a concrete seal. He called the place Eden, after the biblical paradise, and our surname.

        •                Bright Hours (Journal, 2016)

          Bright Hours refers to something past — an uncertain place that does not exist, something fragile and indefinite.

          The project is based on journeys that took place over the course of six years (2008–2013) to the Arctic North, Kola Peninsula and Nenets Autonomous Okrug in northwest Russia. The book also contains photographs from other places, like Saint Petersburg and the Åland Islands, where Karl Henrik Edlund used to live.
