I am an artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. I studied at the International Center of Photography in New York and at the Royal College of Art in Stockholm. 

Some reflections about my work: 

I often work site-specific, process-based and in the public realm, responding to and engaging with a particular place. The work can be informed by many different aspects of a place; the people and other beings that inhabit or use it, its history and geography, and anything that is part of or related to it. 

My artistic practice explores the mechanisms of perception, such as the relationship between time and attention, or how sensory and intellectual experience can be affected by technology and philosophy. 

I like to think of my work as a way of seeking understanding, of constructing meaning rather than consuming information. It seems to function like language, as a kind of experimental interface that manifests itself in connection and co-creation with the world. It tries  to blurs the lines between human and non-human, individuality and collectivity, us and them. It is like a tool at the edge of understanding to navigate the uncertainties, ambiguities, and complexities of existence.  

It's not a form or a beautiful object (though it may end up being that), but rather ideas and processes that seek to turn what seems impossible into a possibility, by opening up to experimentation with what we know, but also with the hope of reaching what we don't yet know.
