In the photographs of Helena Blomqvist a staged reality intertwines with
dreamlike scenaries and mythical storytelling. As a part of the commission for
the new Karolinska University Hospital, the largest comission for public art in
modern Swedish time, Blomqvist has created three works that Galerie Forsblom
has the great pleasure to present in a studio exhibition.
