"However the city may really be, beneath this thick coating of signs, whatever it may contain or conceal, you leave Tamara without having discovered it."
Italo Calvino, “Invisible Cities”, 1972

When I move through the constructed sites constituting the space around me I am by every step I am taking walking through my past and my identity. How and why the city strategically has been planned to look the way it looks, who lives where and how, what rules and codes that are in place and what they communicate to the inhabitants and visitors are all questions dealing with something less tangible than the actual, physical city.

Carl-Oskar Linné is a Swedish artist and photographer connected to the Bergen National Academy of the Art. His work has been exhibited in Sweden, France and Norway and he works with clients in France and Sweden. Focusing on the city and other constructed places, he is working with photography and sculpture. Places and spaces in his work are both connected to his own stories and background and to socio-political issues.
