The book Känningen by Emanuel Cederqvist shows pictures of stones from the temporary stone archive in Oskarshamn. Stones that visitors have taken from Blå Jungfrun are sent there. The packages sometimes include letters with stories about the accidents the stone has caused. During the pandemic, the stone archive grew and the tone of the letters seemed more desperate. In the book, pictures from the stone archive are combined with pictures from Blå Jungfrun, which according to folklore is actually Blåkulla, the place where witches gather around Easter.

Emanuel Cederqvist is a photographer with an interest in how we interpret and read the shapes of the landscape in the light of our own memories, experiences and through our common cultural heritage. His working method can be described as a form of visual archeology where perception and photography can act as tools for the investigation. For Cederqvist, there is an interesting connection between the place and the photograph, where the traces of human presence talk about time in the same way as the photographic medium.
Emanuel Cederqvist is educated at HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg, where he obtained his Master’s degree in photography in 2018. In 2014, he published his first photo book, What remains (Blackbook Publication). Since then, he has published several books and participated in various exhibitions both in Sweden and internationally.
