Slussen at Dusk, 2023

I photographed Slussen during its 2023 rebuild, when cranes, torn barriers, and blue evening light made the place feel temporary.

I kept returning to Slussen around dusk in 2023. The rebuild had opened the place up: cranes crossed the sky, temporary barriers were torn, and familiar routes felt unfinished. The blue hour made all of it look even more temporary.

I was not trying to document the whole construction project. These ten photographs are simply the details I kept noticing while Stockholm changed around them.

About this series

Place: Slussen, Stockholm
Period: 2023
Material: Camera-made photographs

Notes from the edit

I kept the cranes against the sky rather than cropping them into anonymous shapes.
Torn fabric and round openings became frames whenever they lined up with the site.
The portrait print stayed because the rebuild was not only steel and concrete.
Ten photographs felt like enough; this is not meant to be a complete record.
