Archipelago Islands

There’s a whole host of archipelago islands off the coast of Gothenburg. Every island name ends in -ö, which simply means ‘island’! Like Vrångö, Styrsö, Brännö, Hönö …
You just take the tram there and then the ferries; it’s all covered by one ticket (I had a 3-day ticket for about € 25 …) … Unfortunately, it was all rather grey that day, with a steady drizzle, so I travelled to Brännö for half an hour, enjoyed the sight of the deserted granite cliffs, and then headed straight back. It must be absolutely lovely in the height of summer!

Solstickan

These matchboxes! I just HAVE to do something with them … play … film … animate …

Solstickan is a Swedish charity foundation founded in 1936 for aiding children in need. The money for the foundation is gathered through the sales of the Solstickan matchbox or lighter which over the years have become the most well known and purchased matchbox in Sweden. The art work of the matchbox was made in 1936 by the artist Einar Nerman and is a painting of his own son.
Today, the money from the Solstickan foundation goes mostly to science and research in child diseases.
