In Let the World Adore You (shortlisted for the international Rencontres d'Arles Photo-Text Book Award), Swedish photographer Lisa Brunzell captures the lives of Britains ABBA tribute artists, exploring the tension between their impersonations and their individual identities. Lisa will discuss the development of the project alongside Aberdeen-based collaboratorShane Strachan, who will perform short poetic texts from the book inspired by melancholy and joy of both ABBA lyrics and of Lisa's images.
