Discarded Prints

Discarded Prints was made during a time when Berglin went into voluntary isolation and limited himself to only using the materials that could be found in his studio.

In several previous projects, Berglin has taken an interest in collective and random aesthetics that can be found in urban environments. For example the result from the constant struggle between those putting up and those tearing down posters from facades. Leaving behind an abstract motif. Discarded Prints are Berglins attempt to recreate this random and collective aesthetics, using only his own prints from the 25 years he has worked with photography as a medium.

Methodically and carefully, he has placed thousands of paper fragments, layer upon layer upon layer until harmony in composition and color has occurred. It is completely abstract, but in a way his most personal work to date. The images can be viewed as a deconstructed distillate of his artistic practice up until now.
