Rur.Albo is a photo book that portrays life in Albo härad. Albo is situated in the heart of Österlen - a part of southeastern Sweden that probably is the most occurring in lifestyle magazines and TV shows. We get to see a different view of this area in Löfstedt’s black and white
photos.
Petter that grew up in Stockholm, depicts the country side in Albo with an inside view - still with the eyes of a newcomer. It is photos at the center of everyday life, documented during three years in situ. The title is a play on words and tells the perspective for the book - rural and in
Albo.
During the project Petter has collected sentences from spontaneous conversations with people in Albo. These are illustrated in the book in Petter’s handwriting.
