ARTIST: Ingvar Kenne



Ingvar Kenne studied Photography Bachelor of Arts at the University of Gothenburg between 1988 – 1991. The same year he completed his studies Kenne had a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in Boras, Sweden.


It was in 1992 Kenne when created his first monograph ON THE SIDE (Tidens Forlag, Sweden). An exhibition also toured over a two year period. He then embarked on several journeys around the globe.
