Klara Källströms

Klara Källströms Work from Gingerbread Monument. “Gingerbread Monument is the photographer Klara Källströms debut book and an experiment in what a photography book can be.

Online Feature

From a recently curated feature for culturehall. ___________________ These works represent an acute awareness of the implications of process. Each image is a self-reflexive critique of photographic processes, digital technologies, contemporary aesthetics, and how the medium functions. The struggle is to connect these four works conceptually in a way that elucidates this meta-photographic inquiry but […]

Stephanie Davidson

  Stephanie Davidson Work from Collage and Gifs. “Stephanie Davidson’s works are, for lack of a better word, super bratty. Like she totally knows it, too. It’s loaded with post-modern irony lost in the throes of youthful know-it-allness. (My Swedish friend calls them: Besser-Vissers. Better knowers? I always liked this invented word.) It’s kinda like […]

Working with STEREO scientists, Semiconductor collected […]

Jean Klimak

Jean Klimak Work from Chew by Numbers. “I make artworks that have contradictions in them, artworks that lie somewhere between the sublime and ambivalence. Through these processes, I focus on materials that are dissimilar in nature or exhibited in curious ways. By working in this manner, tensions are created between the materials I choose or […]

Simon Berg

Simon Berg Work from APAN ÄR RÄDD. You can buy the book here. “An intense portrayal of a seemingly meaningless everyday life.

For out of the cracks from the civilized facade seeps another story forward, the story of a life where every […]

The quasi-performative […]
