Bjorn Holmsen, born in Sweden in 1965, borrowed his first camera at the age of four from grandpa, and even made his own word for “picturing”. When turning 14 he started working in a camera shop in downtime Stockholm, saving up money for his first own real camera, a Canon F-1 New, which he bought a year later. But it was so expensive he could only afford the body and had to save another year before buying his first lens.

At Stockholm University he majored in Japanese and Chinese, later only to move to China, where he has lived more than 15 years.

Combining his interests in foreign languages and cultures, travelling, outdoors, and photography, his most representative pictures are from remote places, the majority of which not surprisingly from China. He specializes in dramatic landscapes, sometimes urban, or snapshots of people in their daily life, often bringing out some interesting detail or peculiarity.

Most of the pictures at the exhibition are shot in 35 mm slide film scanned to digital format.

Bjorn Holmsen,1965年出生于瑞典，他的第一部相机是在他四岁的时候外公借给他的，他用自己的语言把相机叫做“图片制造机”。在他十四岁的时候就开始在一家照相馆工作，那时瑞典的首都斯德哥尔摩正处于萧条时期，一年后他就用自己工作赚来的钱买一台真正的属于自己的相机——a Canon F-1 New。（佳能 New F-1是佳能公司于1981年9月上市的一款35mm焦平面快门单反相机，原是价格为带标准眼平取景器FN：201,000日元(带FD 50mm f/1.2)，181,000日元(带FD 50mm f/1.4)，149,000日元(机身)。）但是由于这台相机太昂贵了，他只支付得起一个机身的价钱，他不得不再花一年的时间去工作支付他第一个镜头的费用。

他在斯德哥尔摩大学主修日语和中文，随后他便去了中国，在那里居住了15年之久。

鉴于他对外语、文化、旅行、摄影和户外运动的热情，他最具代表性的作品都来自于遥远的地方，其中大部分都意料之中的来自中国，他专门拍摄一些舞台背景，城市，或者是抓拍生活中的人，他总能在不经意中发现一些有趣的细节和奇特的景象。

在展览中，大部分照片用都是用35毫米反转片拍摄后描成数字格式展现在人们眼前。
