Douglas Ljungkvist - Ocean Beach
Personal subtexts about my Ocean Beach project include memory and identity (time being the other). Both that of previous vacations I spent there in the 90’s but even more so from childhood summer vacations growing up in Sweden where our family often rented similarly small dwellings.
These memories lead to exploring and adding a conceptual part to the project realized by discreetly including vintage objects to select cottage interiors. The objects were either found or purchased at flea markets in the past year for the specific purpose of recreating what it might have looked like had I vacationed at Ocean Beach as a child or teenager.
Fewer than half of the interiors have been conceptualized as I like to leave viewers to wonder and make up their own stories, but that number will most likely grow over time.
