Ending

Description:

Ending is Leif Sandberg's story of receiving news of a life threatening disease and of dealing with the ageing process. Leif Sandberg has created an oeuvre that is urgent both with regard to content and the medium itself. The photo book Ending is Leif Sandberg's debut. Ending also features a poem by Bob Hansson inspired by Leif Sandberg's story. Leif Sandberg (b. 1943) is an ordinary person, but a truly extraordinary photographer. Life took a real turn when he at the age of 64 learned that he might have pancreatic cancer. During the struggle that followed, he initiated a project where he, through the use of images, conveyed not only the emotional roller-coaster of dealing with the illness, but also the coming to terms with the harsh realisation that the ageing process had really taken its toll.
