"Ottilia Jansson 1880," written in elegant ink handwriting. Ottilia reads on in the Bible given to her by her secret love. He, the handsome priest from Skållerud Church, has written a passage from the First Epistle of John beneath her name, urging her to live purely and to love others. But the young couple lived in sin. One day, the priest gathered his courage and visited the manor where Ottilia lived to ask her father’s permission to marry her. The stern patron replied that the priest was of too humble origins, and that no wedding would take place. Ottilia chose never to marry anyone else and lived with her unmarried sisters at Upperud Manor. It’s said that the beautiful Ottilia remained sad her entire life."

"Silent Stories" is an art project created by husband and wife Andreas Lundberg and Annie Vesterdahl Lundberg. Andreas is a photographer with a background in advertising, fashion and documentary photography. Annie is a hairdresser, make-up artist and, in the project, also a stylist. Each piece is inspired by a true story or fate. Andreas and Annie have made their own interpretation of these stories and sometimes they have changed the era and place. The creative process is often long and exciting, a constant search for a story that they can fantasize about and turn into a work of art. Hundreds of sketches that are turned and twisted eventually become a photograph. The art project Silent Stories started in 2016. Each work is signed and numbered in a limited edition. The stories that inspired the photographs are attached to the back of the works.
