Life and work
Life and work
Edström was born in Frösön, Jämtland, Sweden. In the 1990s he lived in Paris, working as a fashion photographer with Maison Margiela and Purple magazine. He continues to work in fashion. Edström has had a long-time creative filmmaking collaboration with C.W. Winter. Their feature film The Anchorage (2009) "follows the everyday existence of an elderly woman who lives alone on an island on the Stockholm archipelago." It won the Golden Leopard – Filmmakers of the Present award at the Locarno Film Festival and the Douglas Edwards Experimental/Independent Film/Video Award at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards. Their eight-hour-long fictional film, The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin) (2020), is set in the remote rural village of Shiotani, Japan. Edström's photobook, named after the village and published in 2021, documents the literal life of his wife's family there between 1993 and 2015.
