Fjärde världen (fourth world)






A Swedish hip hop group.
Photographs by © Saga Berlin

Saga says: " My idea for the pictures is based on the group´s lyrics and the band members every day life. They are three very different persons, the only thing they have in common is their background and their great love of music. I built a living room that could belong to each one of them. They could bring things from their own living rooms. Things that should tell something about their personalities including other random things. I fixed some furniture and the lighting. The idea was that all three of them should be able to feel at home in that room although it is very different from their own places.

The title of their new album is "World´s end" and I felt like I wanted to make it less dramatic and visualize the fact that "world´s end" is closer to our living rooms than we realize."

Very interesting pictures in delicious colours and exiting lighting you fixed.
It´s easy to see and enjoy all the details. Interesting to read about your preparations, Saga. Great work and I like it.

Har precis upptack dina bilder av ren slump och jag maste sga att du har evrkligen talang. Dina bilder ger en kansla av 'grittiness' och realness som man kan hitta i gamla blacksploitaition-filmer och vastindisk fotografi fran 70-talet. Anyway, I guess what I'm tryin' to say is - good work, and keep it coming.
