  • Detroit, Michigan, USA, 19.10.2012. Detroit was once known as the Paris of the midwest. Considered a promised land, in the era of the american automobile industry adventure. Due to the financial crisis, the entire state of Michigan is now on the brink of economic and social colapse. Fifty years ago, the city of Detroit was home of two million residents. In 2012 only 700.000 residents remain, and the gap between rich and poor in Detroit are as great as in the Philipines. Photo: Christopher Olssøn.

  • On April the 6th 2009 at  3.32 a.m, a powerful earthquake struck a huge part of the Abruzzo region of central Italy killing 295 people. The dead were mainly in L'Aquila, a 13th century mountain city about 100 miles east of Rome that has a population of 80,000, and surrounding villages. This photodocumentary follows life in a small village outside L'Aqulia that lost 1/3 of its population in the quake.

  • The Malee family has just been attacked by unknown gunmen inside the house killing their daughter. Thailand is struggling to keep up appearances as the land of smiles has to face up to its troubled south. Since 2004 more than 3500 people have been killed and 4000 wounded in a war we never hear about. In the early hours of January 4th 2004 more than 50 armed men stormed a army weapons depot in Narathiwat taking assault rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, pistols, rocket-propelled grenades and other ammunition. Arsonists simultaneously attacked 20 schools and three police posts elsewhere in Narathiwat. The raid marked the start of the deadliest period of armed conflict in the century-long insurgency. Despite some 30,000 Thai troops being deployed in the region, the shootings, grenade attacks and car bombings happen almost daily, with 90 per cent of those killed being civilians. 24.09.07.

  • The farm area is housing a great load of various animals. The detainees are fully responsible for the care of the animals. Each detainee earns about 50 norwegian crowns (Equal to 7 euros). Bastøy prison is a low security facility situated in the Oslo fjord just about one hour from Oslo. The prison is located on a small island with lots of history. The compound was originally constructed for the service as an orfanage/school for bad kids, the point was to learn the children how to behave. Unfortunately they where abused and some tortured. A dark part of the Norwegian history. .Today it is one of the most cozy prison facilities in the country. .Each detainee is assigned to a job.
