Lyset slukkes kl. 22.00: En fotografisk rapport fra tvangsanstalter og nødhjem

Bo captures worlds hidden to many – prisons, homes for unwed mothers, mental facilities, military barracks, homes for the elderly and the wheelchair-bound – focusing his lens directly and unceremoniously on various interior spaces – TV rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, cells, nurseries, meeting rooms, hallways – empty, characterless spaces, quasi-homes for the uprooted, enlivened at times with nude posters or plants. Nearly 150 images, darkly printed, follow in succession, printed every other page, unfolding like a snapshot album of extreme solemnity. An amazingly layered book that builds in both intensity and mystery as it is viewed.

pp. 280; BW ills.; paperback. Publisher: Det Danske Forlag, 1975.
