« JH Engström constructs photographic stories. Placed in sequence, displayed in books and arranged in grids and constellations in the gallery, he persuades the viewer to piece together a sense of the work as a whole, rather than take it one image at the time. Typically, within these groupings the artist juxtaposes diverse subject matter and perspectives: close up with far away, fragment with overview, tender and poetic with shocking.
[…] And yet, despite this eclecticism, like reading a novel in which the writer breaks the temporal sequence into fragments by switching between times and places, we are somehow able to construct a narrative, albeit one that is loose, inconclusive and open to flights of fancy. »
