Intime

Magnus Cederlund (SE)

Cafe Intime is the oldest gay bar located in the center of Copenhagen. Intime feels like entering a living room filled with old paintings, furniture and fresh flowers. The interior of the bar has been influenced by the life at Montmartre and Unter den Linden in the 1920s. It’s the place where people take their first date for a drink whilst listening to jazz. The artist Magnus Cederlund has been visiting this place for the past seven years, photographing random guests for his future photo book. The series Intime, however, only displays a specifically chosen selection of photographs from the bar, depicting the trans gender community.

Various artworks of the artist were exhibited at the National Museum of Finland and JCDecaux Finland.
