Jennie Gunhammar, "somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond"

About

The new Fitzrovia gallery, Diemar/Noble Photography opens with works by the Swedish born photographer, Jennie Gunhammar. In this inaugural exhibition the images form an intimate portrait of Gunhammar's sister Jess with her partner Stan and the couple's life together in north London. Underlying the images of Jess and Stan as an everyday loving couple in an everyday loving relationship is the fact that their lives are marred by their Stan's suffering from Parkinson's disease and Jess from Lupus, a chronic disorder affecting the immune system and a disease with which Jennie herself has also been diagnosed. Through her images Gunhammar captures not only the love and tenderness in Jess and Stan's daily life but also the difficulties and anguish with which they live. Jennie Gunhammar is based in London.
