Curatorial Statement

There could be no Flash Forward Festival without this six-year-old annual competition showcasing the best emerging photographers from Canada, the USA and the UK. Each year, after a call for entry to emerging photographers, curators from each of the participating countries review the submitted work and identify those young people that they believe show great promise as professional fine art or documentary photographers. This exhibition and supporting publication show the result of that process.
The Magenta Foundation gratefully acknowledges the nurturing support of Flash Forward Festival Presenting Sponsor TD Bank Financial Group for its ongoing commitment to Flash Forward, in all its formats, since launching six years ago.

“How hungry can we get? We are hungry for larger servings, more gadgets and bigger cars. Meanwhile, large parts of the world’s population are suffering from a different kind of hunger.
The photographer Jens Assur wants to initiate a discussion. How are we and the planet to survive? How should the environment and the economy interact?
Jens Assur is one of Sweden’s most well-known press photographers. Since the 1990s, he has produced several acclaimed photo reportages and exhibitions. His pictures have a message that is often forcefully conveyed.”

How did it come about that you achieved the status of successful, professional photographer? What steps were involved in reaching your level of success?

HW

I am not sure if I am successful professional photographer. If “successful professional” means I can live a good, somewhat luxurious, life by the profession, then I am certainly not. I am represented by well-established galleries in New York, Chicago, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, and others, and I sell decent number of work every month. But fine art photography requires a lot of money to produce. I spend a lot for films and prints and also traveling. I work full time 5 days a week and I don’t do anything else. My expenses are almost as high as my photography income and I have so little left at the end even when I am lucky. So, maybe I am not qualified to answer this question. Then why am I doing photography? I think it is a combination of passion and stupidity. For me, photography is intellectual, artistic, and curiosity fulfilling. I love making photographs.
