More about Örjan Henriksson

For four years, the photographer Örjan Henriksson has made a dive into his childhood roots and the landscape of “Norra Klarälvdalen” Värmland.

“When I travel along the Klarälven in the northern valley, it is difficult not to feel sadness and melancholy. Communities with deserted houses. How it once flowed with life but now stands there like empty skeletons. Some of them more ravaged than others by time and lack of life. At the same time, I am filled with great respect and humility towards the people who still remains and keeps the landscape alive.

On my mother's side, we come from Värmland in several generations and I feel a strong bond to the landscape and the people.

The work with this project has taken many journeys and all the journeys have been purifying for the soul. No need to stress, it just destroys the ability to absorb the impressions. If I can not take in the impressions, I have nothing to express.

This amazing landscape. It is impossible not to be struck by its grandeur and mystery. Klarälven, this mighty river that has given life (and work) to so many for so long. It flows quietly and quietly but also wild and dangerous. The great forests which, if you take the time to see and listen, offer everything that the human soul so desperately needs.

It became so clear to me that I only experienced this when it was late dusk or almost night. When I stopped and just stood there, my senses sharpened and I began to see what I had not seen. My hearing was also sharpened and I heard what I did not hear. -Maybe I saw what did not exist or listened to what was not heard...
