In the limited edition series A day in the life of... photographers are portraying a day in their lives, fiction as non-fiction. The sixth publication in this monthly series is completed by Stockholm based photographer Mikael Olsson. The airy, dreamy b/w images in this publication were shot on the island of Capri. Their subject is the Villa Lysis, a mansion that was built for the French poet and writer Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen. After fleeing France in 1903 after being accused of "indeecency" with young boys, Count d'Adelswärd-Fersen lived in the building with his lover Nino Cesarini until his drug-related suicide in 1923.

The building itself was designed by architect Edouard Chimot in an Italianized version of Art Noveau. The entrance bears the Latin inscription Amori et dolori sacrum - A Holy Place for Love and Sorrow.
 
Mikael Olsson, born 1969 in Gothenburg (Sweden), recently finished the book Södrakull Frösakull (Steidl), a photographic portrait of designer and architect Bruno Mathsson's private homes in Sweden. The images from the book have been exhibited by the Hasselblad Foundation in Gothenburg, Sweden.

In the limited edition series A day in the life of... photographers are portraying a day in their lives, fiction as non-fiction. The fifth publication in this monthly series is completed by Amsterdam based Viviane Sassen who put together a sequence of pictures done with a digital point-and-shoot during a day in Marsa Alam, Egypt, where she spent a holiday with her family, February 2009. She mainly focused on her young son Lucius.

After studying fashion, photography and a degree in Fine Arts, Viviane Sassen started working for magazines, as well as exhibiting her artwork at galleries and museums. She developed a strong personal style, especially recognizable in a sensitive yet graphic approach; the use of shadows and the deformation of the human body.

Her images rather raise questions than statements. Her work has been published in magazines such as Purple, I-D, Self Service, Fantastic Man, Dazed & Confused, Vogue Paris and shot campaigns for Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Tsumori Chisato to name a few. Her work concentrates mainly on Africa; her new book Flamboya has recently been released by Contrasto Publishers.

She has participated in exhibitions at, among other, Crystal Palace, Hasselblad Center, Tensta Konsthall and Kulturhuset and has published the book Works of Jenny Källman with text written by the author Andrzej Tichý and design made by the Swedish graphic design team Research and Development.
