”Palme på Kårhusockupationen 1969”
"I maj 1968 fick jag i uppdrag att fotografera den pågående Kårhusockupationen åt bildtidningen SE. Jag dök in i den turbulenta situationen på Holländargatan. Ett stormöte pågick dygnet runt. Ämnet var ett förslag till ny studieordning kallad UKAS. Olof Palme kom dit, han var utbildningsminister. På Wikipedia (Kårhusockupationen) kan man se mig, 29 år gammal, stå bakom Palme. Jag höll mig nära honom och fotograferade flitigt. På tidningen SE var man inte förtjust i bilderna, de ansågs vänstervridna."
Carl Johan De Geer
Artist
Carl Johan De Geer was a Swedish painter, designer, photographer, and author. He studied from 1959-62 at Konstfack. He is one of the leading representatives of the boundary-crossing artists of the 1960s. Utilising the magazine “Puss” as his platform, De Geer and others satirically critiqued society and its representatives in a provocative style. In their exhibitions, which often take the form of entire scenographies, he works with all art forms. He has designed textile patterns, created paintings featuring kitsch and memories, made films, and written novels that blend modernism with pop culture.
