Unauthorized Face Detected

A brand-new 2026 publication by Swedish writer and photographer Per Englund, whom you might recall from his brilliant 2018 book Kul Att Det Körs on Stockholm tags.

Unauthorized Face Detected – Portraits in The Blind Algorithm is a compilation of illegally executed faces and smileys he discovered across 17 countries between 2008 and 2025.

Whether created with a marker, paintbrush, or spray can, these visages have been collected from all around the globe—including cities like Stockholm, New York, Paris, Berlin, San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Barcelona, Hamburg, Madrid, Belgrade, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Oslo, Budapest, Tunis, Mumbai, Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Gothenburg.

All 125 photos are accompanied by a detailed index documenting the exact location and time Englund captured each face. The 52-page publication is printed in a limited edition of just 300 copies – get yours now in our shop.
