Perpetual Photographs takes as its inspiration the column, ‘On my Mind’, presented in the very first issues of Objektiv, where different people wrote about an image that they couldn’t stop thinking about. For this essay, Strand looks more closely at images, interviews, impressions that are still on her mind. Her essay contains quotes from artists such as Laure Prouvost, Frida Orupabo, Elle Pérez and in this way weaves a dialogue of many voices, instead of making a fixed statement, offering a wider picture of artistic practices.

Søsterskap (Sisterhood) brings together photographers of different generations from the Nordic countries whose works reflect the socio-political context of the welfare state. The interplay between photography and this social democratic model is here seen as a key factor in defining the rich and multifaceted panorama of camerawork from the region, spanning from the 1980s to today. This publication accompanies the 2023 exhibition Søsterskap—Contemporary Nordic Photography, invited as one of the main exhibitions for the Les Rencontres d’Arles.

Gutta på Gølvet. (Men at Work.) Short prose published at Cappelen in 2004. In every woman there is always a man at work. Inside Frøkna it's Arne and the guys. This book shows that working for a young woman is no easy task, but the guys on the floor do their best.
