Disgusting Food Museum. We all eat different thin

Disgusting Food Museum. We all eat different things. Dead animals prepared in different ways, pickled as in this mouse wine, fermented as in surströmming or Hakarl (Icelandic fermented shark, which someone peed upon…) Stinky cheeses etc. Over 80 of the weirdest foods were collected in the pop up Disgusting Food Museum at Slagthuset, since they have relocated to Caroli City. There is even a tasting bar for dried grasshoppers, shark meat and other tasty food. You might like it 😉 If not you might get a point on the barfboard.

Two years ago I returned to Malmö after 30 years abroad. I came back to a city very different from the one I left in the 80ies. Then a blue collar city with a dying manufacturing sector, now a vibrant University city with 184 nationalities. This series is homage to Sweden’s third largest city. #malmo, #malmocity, #malmotown, #malmö, #disgusting, #disgustingfood, #disgustingfoodmuseum, #pukeworthy, #barfboard

Snow. It is getting rarer and rarer to have winter

Snow. It is getting rarer and rarer to have winter days with a sub zero temperature these days. So when it drops some are fast out to make the most of it before it disappears. There is a certain silence when the snow dampens the sounds of the city. A breath of fresh air much preferred to the future of stifling summer’s heat.

Christmas. In a multiculti society some traditions may appear old. However there are those who fight for them and like this couple have been doing for decades share gifts and joy with those who have little.

The bridge at sunset. If one thing should be point

The bridge at sunset. If one thing should be pointed out as the main contributor to Malmö’s revival it is the bridge. The Danes did not initially want it as it would disturb their view and therefore it became a tunnel at the artificial island Pepparholmen the Danish side. Not only it is a vital link for commuters across Öresund (and there are loads of Danes living in Malmö and work in Copenhagen as the real estate is cheaper in Sweden) and to the Kastrup airport it is also a fictitious crime scene in the crime drama The Bridge (Bron).

Exterior Urbex. Abandoned warehouses between the harbor and the railroad are emptied to be torn down for gentrification. The brick, corrugated steel doors and roof become a temporary canvas for graffiti artists.

Let there be light. As the darker winter months approached Kungsparken and surroundings lit up with a light sculpture festival. I had seen them on the water in Amsterdam in January’s past but here amongst dark trees soon leafless the contrast was greater. A number of light artists were invited to present their creations. Some quite simple and interactive such as this one where multicolored LED lights were attached to swings. Long exposure time made semicircles.

A day at the opera. As a kid I remember seeing “Annie get your gun” where the firing of the guns were the highlight for a seven year old. Then the building, finished in 1944, was called Malmö Stadsteater. The lobby with swirling stairs stuck in mind, the music and the costumes not so much. Today I was late and saw the long line of people snaking across the plaza as I parked my bike. The doors still closed but soon the rush would begin. It was the sale of the year (perhaps even five years) when the now Opera cleaned out it’s closets and sold off costumes from previous productions. Inside I soon spotted a large bearded man with ponytail and eyeliner in a rainbow unicorn T-shirt. I had never seen Rickard Söderberg before or even heard of him. Now I met the gay tenor who was here to scoop up some of the costumes he had once worn.

Klaffbron. Wear no “fine wear” the invite said

Klaffbron. Wear no “fine wear” the invite said. It was time to go underground into the grease pit. It is not a large bridge but it’s mint green steel construction and humongous concrete counter weight give it a unique silhouette. It was bought used from Germany and installed in Malmö 1953 to become the defacto border between the city and the former Kockums shipyard, today the entry to Västra Hamnen. Kind of like a drawbridge as it could and can swing open for ships to pass. Nowadays it is still opened twice a year for housekeeping and to grease the wheels below ground. And grease there is plenty of to make for a smooth rise of the bridge.
