Dear folks,
Nothing much is happening on this site these days. The same goes for my
own, personal artwork. Since May 2008 I have a joint project together
with a colleague and a friend, Paul Forsberg. The project will be exhibited
in March 2011. Follow our project at: www.megangst.com

Finally, I’ll leave my Bohemian style loft, where I’ve lived
for the past 12 years and move into this pretty ordinary flat with a lifetime
rental contract, which I can switch to any other rental contract in Sweden.
These contracts are practically impossible to get, so this is to be considered
like winning in lotto! A huge change for me but my art will go on…

Working on a new project ’The project’ together with my closest
friend, Paul Forsberg, a painter…
In the beginning of August we go to this island, Öland, just outside
of Sweden’s east coast to do some shooting and filming… Our
professor at School of Photography, Tuija Lindström who’s living
on the island will be assisting us.
First images available some time during September.
But before all this I go to Lofoten, an archipelago and a traditional
district in the county of Nordland, Norway.
