Pop: The History Makers with Steve Blame
On this week’s podcast, a look at Stockholm’s clubland between 1992 and 1995. It was an era in Stockholm that mirrored the Blitz era of London, a group of creatives coming together, the future famous designers, photographers, actors, musicians, and video and film directors.
Stefan Holm Mardo leads us through this era, his book No Limit; Stockholm Clubland 1992-1995 - the story of how Stockholm became cool was released towards the end of 2019. Helped by Mikael Bohman, a content creative and TV producer, the book is a homage to that time through photos and interviews with the Club Kids of that era, of which Stefan was one.
His interview is a fascinating look at how a scene can have an enormous impact on the creative output of a country. Stefan studied at Stockholm’s Beckmans School of Design, where he combined photography with graphic design.
He realized he had taken a huge amount of photos documenting the club scene back then, and set about trying to find the people in the photos. In all, he found 108 of the former club kids and 20 years later photographed for the book again.
If you are interested in the book.
