Sinclair & Abrahamsson
Switching Mirrors Box Set
In 2016, American poet Vanessa Sinclair and Swedish musician Carl Abrahamsson travelled in Portugal, recording Sinclair’s cut-ups and poems along timeless roads, breathtaking nature and majestic architectural structures. These recordings were then integrated in music by Abrahamsson. The pieces, as well as the totality, evoke not only geographical places the couple visited, but also states of mind and emotion. In a loose, free form and seemingly random manner, “Switching” and "Mirrors" are two albums that penetrate the walls of expectations and keep on exploring inside the listener’s mind. Provided he or she is willing, of course…
A box set containing two CDs, an information sheet, a text by Carl Abrahamsson, two reproduced collages, one original collage, and five photographs of the artists. The box is 22 x 31 x 5 centimeters, and is stamped and signed by the artists. Limited to eight numbered copies.
A collaboration with Highbrow Lowlife (catalog number HILO-050 and 051). For more information about other releases, please visit:

Carl Abrahamsson
Jag är som flugan på väggen – En film om Lars Sundestrand
Carl Abrahamsson, Sverige, 2020. 57 min. Medverkande: Lars Sundestrand, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Annika von Hausswolff och Robert Hurula.
Genom sitt fanzine FUNTIME (1978-1983) blev fotografen Lars Sundestrand synonym med den tidens punk- eller “gör det själv”-anda och estetik. FUNTIME blev snabbt Sveriges mest kända och inflytelserika fanzine. Efter denna explosivt kreativa period jobbade Lars Sundestrand vidare som fotograf för en mängd dagstidningar, och även som teaterfotograf på Göteborgs Stadsteater, GöteborgsOperan, Västanå Teater och många fler. Under färdens gång har han gjort över 80 fotoböcker, bland annat om/med Ebba Grön, Throbbing Gristle, Hurula – och hela nio böcker om och med Freddie Wadling! Endast ett fåtal av dem har distribuerats eller ens visats upp.
I filmen JAG ÄR SOM FLUGAN PÅ VÄGGEN berättar Lars Sundestrand själv om vad som driver honom att skapa nya bilder och bokprojekt. Vänner som Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Annika von Hausswolff och Robert Hurula berättar också i filmen om samarbeten, inspirationer och om Lars Sundestrand som person.
I filmen visas unika fotografier av artister som Freddie Wadling, Genesis P-Orridge, Ian Curtis, Sex Pistols, Cabaret Voltaire, The Clash och The Jam. I samarbete med Lars Sundestrand erbjuder Trapart Editions vissa av dessa fotografier till salu. Gå till ART/EDITIONS och PHOTOGRAPHY.
Sinclair & Lucas
Sound 23
Vanessa Sinclair & Douglas Lucas: “Sound 23”
An evocative collaboration between Vanessa Sinclair and American sound artist Douglas Lucas. This album contains eight tracks that weave Sinclair’s cut-up poems into revealing packages of sonorous delight. Sometimes harsh and aggressive, sometimes soft and alluring; always seductive in their joint efforts at upheaving the rational mind and its many intellectual accomplices. After the cataclysmic clash of rational refusal, we are here left with the purely sensual delight that comes from giving in to what random chance suggests, and what spontaneous creation actually brings.
The standard edition consists of a CD, an information sheet, three reproduced collages, one reproduced page from Vanessa Sinclair’s remix of Carl Abrahamsson’s novel Mother, Have A Safe Trip, and two photographs of the artists. Numbers 8-23.
The deluxe edition consists of a box containing a CD, an information sheet, three reproduced collages, three reproduced pages from Vanessa Sinclair’s remix of Carl Abrahamsson’s novel Mother, Have A Safe Trip, and four photographs of the artists, plus one original collage, signed by Vanessa Sinclair. Numbers 1-7.
