ABOUT
A Day at the Races by Ola Billmont is a raw, humorous, and affectionate photographic exploration of Sweden’s Elitloppet horse-racing culture. Through sharp black-and-white analog images, Billmont documents not just the spectacle of trotting races but the human theater that surrounds it—fans in eccentric outfits, gamblers clutching their slips, impromptu naps in the sun, and moments of wild celebration or quiet disappointment. The work moves fluidly between portraits, candid scenes, and crowd studies, capturing the rituals, anticipation, and chaos of the day. Rather than focusing on the race itself, the project turns its gaze to the culture and characters orbiting the event, revealing a strangely intimate world where obsession, tradition, and joy intersect.
