From the glittering lights of the night to the shadows of life’s deeper truths—Olivia Kastebring demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail in her beautiful portrait of one of Stockholm’s true icons.

When Alexandra’s burst onto Stockholm’s dull nightlife scene in 1968, it made an instant impact. At just 22 years old and the owner of Sweden’s first modern nightclub, Alexandra Charles quickly became known as the Queen of the Night. Her club attracted celebrities from all over the world, becoming a symbol of modernity and ambition. But that was long ago. Today, she faces the prospect of losing her sight and instead turns her focus toward a more profound purpose—as the founder of an organization dedicated to women’s health. Using rich archival material and a striking visual language, Olivia Kastebring crafts a poetic and intimate portrait of both the strength and vulnerability of a driven entrepreneur and pioneer.
