Young Georgian Saba Gorgodze came into the world of photography from skate culture after realizing that outside of the monotonous everyday life and struggles at school, many interesting things were happening in the developing subcultures of the city of Tbilisi. Meeting with those skaters was the breaking point in his life and future career. With no artistic background, Saba acknowledged that skateboarding and art had very much in common and decided that photography was the medium he wanted to express himself through.

The moment after the camera clicks is ever lost in real time, but is conversely ensnared forever by the eye of the lens. Scarlett Hooft Graafland’s photography deals directly with this sense of paradoxical transience and permanence in her exhibition Vanishing Traces at the Fotografiska museum in Stockholm, available to the public until September 8. Graafland has said that through her photography, she “creates her own landscapes” by taking almost surreal and yet natural, monumental settings and making them her own through the addition of figures and colour.
