Tone Schunnesson (born 1988) is a Swedish author and playwright. She made her debut in 2016 with the critically acclaimed «Tripp Reports,» which was nominated for the Borås Debutant Prize. In 2020, her second novel «Days & Days & Days» was published, nominated for the Swedish Radio’s Prize and the EU Literature Prize. ”Days & Days & Days” has been translated into several languages and adapted for the stage. Her latest play «There Has Never Been a Woman Like Anna Karenina” is based on Leo Tolstoy’s «Anna Karenina”, and has been performed in Sweden, Germany, and Denmark. Schunnesson is a regular contributor to Sweden’s largest daily newspaper, Aftonbladet. Her next novel is scheduled for autumn 2025.
Märta Thisner (born in 1981) is one of Sweden’s most prominent photographers. Image-search her name and you’ll find a cross-section of recent cultural figures from the worlds of dance, music and literature. Her portraits have an immediate readability, a refined contrast between a careful gaze and the brutal contours of her flash, which seems equally suited to rock and poetry as it does to still-life with glass sculptures.
This is how she first came into contact with Åsa Jungnelius — at a photo shoot for the Public Luxury exhibition at ArkDes in 2018. Jungnelius is one of the most respected designers and artists in Sweden, constantly renegotiating the relationship between the two forms. Although glass is her primary element, Jungnelius’ work is to be considered contemporary art, with its integral parts of social commentary and criticism.
