Corbijn Sessions x Strage 01

The start of a new series in which Fredrik Strage dives into Anton Corbijn's musical universe. First up: an on-stage conversation with photographer Lars Sundestrand, followed by a screening of Corbijn's acclaimed feature film Control.

Split black-and-white image: on the left, a young man with a cigarette in his mouth stands in front of a high-rise building – an iconic still from the film Control about Joy Division singer Ian Curtis. On the right, a man with glasses, a leather jacket, and a T-shirt reading “STRAGE ON STAGE” stands in front of a worn wall with a window. The word "CONTROL" is displayed in bold pink capital letters in the lower left corner.

How did a post-punk band from Manchester become one of the most iconic cultural expressions of our time? And what does Anton Corbijn’s camera lens have to do with it? Welcome to an evening that explores the music, imagery, and myth of Joy Division – the band that defined a generation and shaped Corbijn’s raw, monochrome aesthetic.

On-stage conversation: Fredrik Strage & Lars Sundestrand

Music journalist Fredrik Strage leads a deep dive into the legacy of Joy Division, joined by photographer Lars Sundestrand – who travelled to England in 1980 to meet the band. Lars shares stories of that encounter, the music, and the images that have stayed with him ever since. With a career spanning everyone from Ebba Grön to David Bowie, he offers rare insights into how a photograph can shape a musical legacy.

Film screening: Control by Anton Corbijn

Following the talk, we screen Control – Anton Corbijn’s critically acclaimed feature film debut. This visually powerful portrait of lead singer Ian Curtis is based on the memoir Touching from a Distance by his widow, Deborah Curtis. A haunting story of talent, anxiety, and unforgettable music – told in the grainy black-and-white light that became Corbijn’s signature style.
