Week 24 in Pictures: See the World Through the Eyes of DN Photographers

Dagens Nyheter (DN) offers a photographic journey through the 24th week of 2026, showcasing diverse snapshots of Sweden and the world as seen by its photographers. DN's picture editor, Britt-Marie Schrammel, curated five images that reflect the current global landscape.

Among the featured stories is the culinary success of chef Björn Frantzén, whose Stockholm-based restaurants have earned him the distinction of being the world's best, holding three Michelin stars. The article highlights his journey from a small Gamla stan location to a global culinary empire.

Another profile delves into the personal transformation of rapper Stor (Ulises Infante Azocar). After years of struggle with darkness and alcohol, he is beginning to understand himself better, realizing that the pressure he placed on himself, rather than alcohol, was the core issue. He now feels empowered.

“

I don't see myself as a sober alcoholic. Now I understand that it was never about the liquor. It was the pressure I put on myself.

The selection also touches upon the geopolitical complexities surrounding the succession of the nearly 91-year-old Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. While the spiritual leader retains his characteristic smile and humor, China's plans to appoint its own successor signal a potential major power struggle on the horizon.

Finally, the feature highlights a couple, Isak and Sanne Pantzare, who returned to their roots in Övertorneå after living in Chamonix, France, where Isak played ice hockey. They discovered and purchased a 1960s house for half a million Swedish kronor, which they are now renovating to preserve its historical heritage.

If you only have two Michelin stars, you're kind of a bit sour.
