The book is a documentation of the swedish suburbia Rydebäck, where I grew up in the 1960-70's. I've photographed the suburbia of today, with my memories of when i lived there as a boy as a filter. It's been e journey between the familiar and unknown, discovering how life in suburbia can sometimes be like life in a bubble. The book was given the form of a classic photoalbum, since all pictures from my time there are gone, and this had to be my photoalbum of constructed memories.
