In 2023, Gothenburg celebrated its 400th anniversary. At the same time, a new cityscape emerged. This architecture can be compared to that completed during the city’s previous anniversary in 1923. It can also be related to a longer tradition of buildings constructed in connection with anniversaries and world exhibitions.
From this perspective, sociologist Karl Palmås and photographer Kalle Sanner explore Gothenburg’s built environment. In a survey that includes film, photography, and text, they trace the visions of the future that underpin the city’s new buildings. Supported by discussions with architecture critic Mark Isitt and author Lydia Sandgren, they pose the question: In what way does the anniversary architecture represent the art of our time?
