Born into a powerful Swedish aristocratic family, Carl Johan De Geer grew up on a grand country estate, went to art school in the lates and, in an epic act of rejection, became an underground artist, musician, author, filmmaker and photographer documenting Sweden'sss leftist bohemia.
He also exposed his grandmother's Nazi sympathies in a film called Mormor, Hitler och jag Grandmother, Hitler and I.
A master of the Leica Msnapshot in the vein of Ed van der Elsken and Daido Moriyama, De Geer captures the world with intimate informality, in blackandwhite photographs that, in this slim, affordable volume most of De Geer's previous photo books are out of print and extremely rare, are beautifully reproduced on heavyweight newsprint, in an informal zine style.
