Description: Crossing Borders is part of a joint project between Nationalmuseum and Swedavia. The exhibition features contemporary photographic portraits of internationally celebrated Swedes. During 2014-2016 it has been on view at airports around Sweden. Several generations of photographers are represented, from Hans Gedda and Denise Grünstein to Sanna Sjöswärd and Magnus Laupa. They seek different forms of expression and inspiration from both advertising and fashion photography, as well as film and video. Sometimes this adds to the theatrical quality. The portraits are deliberately staged. Exhibition: Airports in Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmo, Visby (2014-2016).
