J.H. Engström took these photographs in several European and American cities, though predominantly in his native Sweden and New York, where he moved in 1998. Autobiographical in tone, he interweaves nude portraits of people we assume are his friends or lovers, self-portraits, landscapes and interior views, many of which feature unmade beds. Gerry Badger places Engström 'in the vanguard of a new genre that depicts a veiled, oblique, almost novelistic view of modern life, especially modern relationships, apparently offering frankness and disclosure yet remaining extremely guarded.'

First edition; 4to (304 x 238 mm, 12 x 9¼ in); colour and black-and-white photographs, toning to edges; black cloth-covered boards, titles stamped in white on spine and sides, colour photographic reproduction mounted to front, minor rubbing to rear, bottom corner tapped, near-fine; [144]pp.

The Photobook A History, II pp322-3; Martin Parr's Best Books of the Decade pp12-13, p70.
