GRÖNA LUND - ANDERS PETERSEN

Gröna Lund
by Anders Petersen

Gröna Lund is one of Anders Petersen’s most intimate and visceral photobooks. Shot at Stockholm’s historic amusement park, the work captures fleeting encounters, bodies in motion, lovers, loners, and moments suspended between joy and unease.

Through his unmistakable black-and-white language, Petersen turns the fairground into a psychological landscape: a place where desire, vulnerability, and raw humanity surface without filters. Faces blur, gestures intensify, and the camera moves close—sometimes uncomfortably so—embracing imperfection, grain, and emotional tension.

Rather than documenting the park itself, Gröna Lund becomes a study of people passing through it. The result is a poetic yet abrasive body of work, rooted in Petersen’s lifelong exploration of intimacy, marginality, and human connection.

A cult classic for lovers of raw photography, Scandinavian photobooks, and uncompromising visual storytelling.
