The Photographer Who Inspired Severance: Lars Tunbjörk.

Video Description

What if the strangest photos of modern life were also the truest? Lars Tunbjörk turned fluorescent-lit offices, Swedish suburbs, and sprawling shopping malls into surreal, funny, and honest reflections of contemporary life. His vivid color photography was so distinct, it directly inspired the eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere of the Apple TV series 'Severance'.
