What does it feel like to live in Sweden right now? During an election year, Dagens Nyheter photographer Lars Lindqvist has spent the past year putting that question to people around the country.
The project asks people to describe everyday life as they experience it, rather than reducing the year to campaign messages and political debate. So far, the videos have attracted more than 20 million views across social media.
The response has continued in the comment sections, where viewers have filled the videos with reactions. The project captures how people in different parts of Sweden describe life at a time when the country is heading into an election year.
