The Morning Dip
The small coastal village of Torekov, Sweden, is known for both its local pier, »Morgonbryggan,« and for the associated daily ritual of a morning dip in the sea. Locals and summer guests are avid disciples of this sacred ritual which can be both solitary and social. There are unwritten codes of behavior related with this activity, including the most visually obvious, the selection of one’s bathrobe. Through the slow and repetitive process of working with a large format lm camera, the photographer Peggy Anderson has gained insight into this community, her native coun- try and her own place within it. The Morning Dip project has been exhibited in Torekov and at Fotografiska, Stockholm.
Peggy Anderson is a photographer based in New York and Sweden, currently living in Paris.

About the Author

Peggy Anderson is a photographer based in New York and Sweden but currently living in Paris. She graduated from The International Center of Photography (ICP in New York City) one-year General Studies in Photography certificate program in 2013. Since then she has been pursuing various personal photography projects. Her most recent project and book, Subway Readers, was exhibited in the Autumn Salon 2016 at Fotografiska in Stockholm. This is a series of people reading books on the New York City subways. Her signature project (and first book), The Morning Dip, is a series of Swedes wearing bathrobes after their morning swim off the west coast of Sweden. Peggy's work often embraces ritual and typology. While not necessarily a portrait photographer, she finds herself drawn to photographing people both for the challenge and interaction.
