FW Books - January 2025
In an abandoned factory in a small town in Romania, over 100 selfmade chairs where left behind
when the factory closed in 2019. In all of that industrialised and liniar atmosphere, these objects'
brutal beauty stood out. A reinvented shape from one workstation to another, a personalised way
of support and rest. Photographed the way they were found in their original setting, which no
longer exists, the work chairs represent tailored, unique shapes. Made from raw materials, they're
a mix of aesthetic intervention and functional improvisation. They took shape from the specificities
of each job or the passing of time, when the work process deformed them to what they are. Were.

Tatu Gustafsson's first book consists of 200 self-portraits taken with weather monitoring cameras.
Since Gustafsson started making self-portraits in 2012, he has concentrated on an alternative
approach to photography and sought to question issues of authorship associated with traditional
photography. Early on, he discovered that Finland's traffic and weather cameras snap a picture
every twelve minutes and store it online for 24 hours. Gustafsson embarked on a journey by car
across the country, positioning himself in front of over 700 outdoor cameras and embracing the
lack of control inherent in this process. The results are haunting images that capture the essence
of solitude.
