In Vännernas arena Erik Viklund depicts in photography and text the intimate and odd story of what happened in a house in northern Stockholm during the years 2010 – 2020. What once began as an observation of the lives of Erik´s friends grew over time into a larger story about people and properties that are literally moved away to make room for a city’s visions and modernization. The book is a personal attempt to approach issues of friendship, representation and urban transformation.
