Preface Susanne Kriemann:
'The camera, Viktor Hasselblad modified to photograph birds in flight, fell from the sky.
“German surveillance planes violated Swedish air space and several went down on Swedish soil. Most of them were destroyed. However, one surrendered its cargo intact: a fully functioning German aerial surveillance camera.”
The image of birds in flight, shot by Victor Hasselblad in the 1930ties is abstract: sky and birds, black and white.
“All the while, Hasselblad viewed the production of military cameras as merely the first step towards the development of a civilian camera. He had his sights on the consumer market."
The image of birds in flight speaks of the human dream to fly. It relates to progress, and the tool that helps us to surpass the boundaries of our own limited being on earth and therefore reassures us of being modern. One of modernism’s ideas is how we can share a dream collectively. And it is not without great capital and its self-made entrepreneurs that this dream could be achieved. And it is not the dream itself but the machinery of technology, where it can be reproduced, corrected, updated, renewed.
On the 3rd of December 2006 I bought at an auction one of Viktor Hasselblad’s first camera constructions: an air-photography camera, from 1935 and two films from 1958. Dream ones again to be re-examined.'
