Diesel Jeans and their then-agency in Stockholm approached me when they saw my underwater campaign for Levis jeans 1992 where a man rides on a Tigershark at the Great Barrier Reef. They wanted me to come up with a new visuel “world” for their Successful Living campaign which had been successful in commenting on consumers’ illusory ability to provide simple solutions to a better way of living. It was presented in some kind of collage-imagery and Diesel was looking for something new and fresh for the next step. I came up with the idea to create a world around Diesel providing profound social messages that offered ethical, political and even philosophical discourse in a strong colourful visual Fellini like style, but still kept real and believable. I depicted these themes in a more contemporary way that to this day provokes both a grimace and a grin.” I created the first campaign ideas, such as “The Car Crash, 1994”  and the house from above “House of Love, 1993” and others followed. That´s why my role was very different to the role of other photographers that followed in this path, The new Diesel world was created and it was the kick off for the new imagery for the Successful Living campaigns for many years, starting with my work in 1993.
