"I'm always looking for presence. Every time I try, my doubts manifest themselves. Then it's easier to stay true to absence. I'm not trying to prove anything. I don't have enough memories yet." - JH Engström, afterword. "JH Engström's Trying To Dance series comprises a photojournalistic 'diary' of his life: landscapes, still lifes, self-portraits and snapshots of friends become loose narrative documents, recording not only the artist's individual experiences, but also a sensitive and provocative engagement with the wider world. Using photography's ability to capture the fleeting essence of a moment, Engström relates specific spaces and moments to the unfixed reference of memory" - journal
