"Traedmark" is a fantastic photo book with pictures of pirated watches, perfumes, and clothes. With brands such as Rqlex, Gasio, Bratling, Abidos and Amorni, the question arises: where does a copy turn into an original?
Traedmark's two volumes contain hundreds of documentary photographs from Cairo.
Volume 1 shoes, clothes, associates and more. Volume 2 contains perfumes. The book takes the collector culture of these ambitious copies in a serious way, but at the same time becomes a picture book with great humor.
"You can only be happy ... Not least for the peculiar, concretist poetry that arises when you browse through the brands in the pirates' perfume market: Huge Bobs, Huge Boqs, Hego Bocs, Hogo Bous, Hogo Boos, Hogo Bois, Huogo Bois , Ego Doss, New Cross, Hurn Bosk, Logo Boss, Logu Boos, Boosi, Bosss, Boxx, Joss, Ogo, Gogo, Poss, Buss? " (Martin Aagård, Aftonbladet).
