Book excerpt: "The pictures in this book came about during two separate stays in Brussels, arranged by the Contretype photo center, one in the summer of 2003, the other in the spring of 2006. ... the idea is to offer the artist some time for reflection upon his work in general and its possible further developments. ... The results of his work are in no way subject to any particular demands, provided that they adhere to the normal limitations and regulations of society. ... The other part of the project is a specific view of the production site, the city of Brussels. ... In photography, JH Engström isn't trying to explain, but rather to render a profound experience of the absurdity of the human condition. These images moves us into a disquieting part of ourselves: our solitude on earth. Jean-Louis Godefroid, Director, Espace Photographique Contretyp"--Prelim.
