Magnus Cederlund, born in Stockholm. Since 1984, Magnus Cederlund has portrayed people living on the edge – alcoholics, drug abusers, homeless people, and prostitutes, as well as people who don't fit in the categories of society: mentally ill and the handicapped. Magnus Cederlund has also documented the life of the recidents and users of Christiania – the free city of Copenhagen. Working as a social worker for more than fifteen years has given Magnus Cederlund a unique insight into the lives and minds of these misfits, who have invited him into their homes, their showers, their beds, and even to the funerals of their friends. From the intimicy of these situations, the confidental gestures and the direct gaze of the persons being portrayed, Magnus Cederlund's technique becomes apparant: He takes his time getting to know the people in front of his camera, they trust him and he cares about them. Magnus Cederlund is currently collaborating with a team of psychiatrists and nurses on a publication picturing mentally ill people, portraited in their homes in Copenhagen.website:
