Trying to Dance is a photobook by Sweden's leading photographer JH Engström. Since the late 1990s, Engström has published more than 10 photobooks. His conceptual style, which is sometimes created with a journalistic perspective, is characterized by his personal feelings, and the contrast and balance of abstract and concrete, clear and vague, joy and sadness, etc., are exquisite. The documentary-like story, which mixes black and white and color, leads us on a journey of images. This book is a collection of Engström's masterpieces, which are his representative works and have made his mark in the history of photography. After publishing his first photobook in 1997, Engström left Sweden for the United States. Nostalgia for his hometown Sweden and the reality and dreams he encountered in the big city of New York. Engström's delicate feelings are depicted through snapshots, portraits, still life, and landscapes, mixed with black and white. A masterpiece of personal documentary that expresses uncertain and fleeting personal feelings that are difficult to express in text, in a modern and sometimes nostalgic way. Limited to 2000 copies. Featured in Parr & Badger Vol Ⅱ.
