| Abstract: | This paper addresses the intersection of European photography and European identity through a discussion of Safe European, a photographic project on identity and youth unemployment by Swedish photographer Pelle Kronestedt. In an analy¬sis informed by semiotics and work on the political rhetoric of photography, the author argues that, through display in an unusual exhibition locale and an unexpected focus for a documentary photographic project on such a subject, Safe European subverts expectations and raises questions about photographic repre¬sentation and cultural attitudes. |
