Jerome Berglund: Driving in the Rain: Photos
About the Dark Fantastic Project: Berglund explores a variety of themes figuratively, following a principle of fatalistic discovery within the chaos of natural elements spiraling through his daily experience and environment. Here he seeks out and constructs—via a scavenger hunt of sorts—a series of allegorical tableaus centered upon subjects of addiction, recovery, alcoholism, mental illness, depression, anxiety, alienation, loss, heartbreak, gentrification, corruption, hope, and acceptance.
Jerome Berglund graduated summa cum laude from the cinema-television production program at the University of Southern California, and has spent much of his career working in television and photography. He has had photographs (not the ones submitted here) published and awarded in local papers and recently staged an exhibition in the Twin Cities area which included a residency of several months at a local community center.
