Poste Restante

Christer Strömholm (1918-2002)

Synopsis

Christer Strömholm's "Poste Restante" is a pivotal photographic autobiography first published in 1967, now regarded as one of the most collectible books from the mid-twentieth century. It captures Strömholm's global travels through a series of images that blend urban life and the bizarre, featuring portraits, street scenes, and abstract elements. Presented as an Existentialist diary, the book employs metaphor and visual puns in a continuous stream of consciousness. Its innovative sequence and design anticipated future trends in photographic publishing and art, placing it alongside works by Robert Frank and Ed van der Elsken.
