One of the new images, Benjamin N\u00f8rskov has photographed specifically for the exhibition at H\u00e4lsinglands Museum. “EPA Sweden” is a project about Swedish teenage boys and girls, age 15 to 17, who take advantage of a loophole in the Swedish law, that makes it legal to drive a car, if it can be registered as a tractor. In this way, the car is limited to only two seats and a maximum speed of 30km\/h. The EPA tractors create a special kind of freedom for the young boys and girls, that suddenly find themselves able to live a more parent-independent life.

One of the new images, Benjamin N\u00f8rskov has photographed specifically for the exhibition at H\u00e4lsinglands Museum. In many ways, the EPA tractor itself becomes a window into a unique kind of teenage life, that has never been documented as extensively as in this project. The cars reflect the personality and interests of the owner \u2013 changing colors, scent, and sound as the teenage year\u2019s pass.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
