Gröna Lund is a reprint of Anders Petersen’s first book Gröna Lund om människör pa ett nöjesfalt published by Fyra Förläggare in Stockholm in 1973.

Following on from Café Lehmitz, this series is also produced in a closed world, one of Sweden’s oldest amusement parks dating from 1883, located on the island of Djurgarden in Stockholm.

In this rereading of the 1973 edition, Anders Petersen shows the evolution of his approach. A more intense selection, a more organic energy leads Gröna Lund towards that almost animal sensibility that is reflected in her more recent works. A bitter and nervous style, a selection of quieter and more melancholic images, evacuating the euphoria of the party.

A first edition of this book was published in 300 signed and numbered copies, on the occasion of the exhibition at Galerie VU’ of period prints dating from the first edition.
