Vanished Summer / Horfið sumar








              My solo exhibition Vanished Summer opened this week-end at ASÍ Art Museum.
The title of the exhibition is borrowed from a short story by the Icelandic writer Gyrdir Eliasson.  In this series I'm exploring the interplay of man and nature, how man's actions affect the environment.

Nordic Art Station






New work from my series Nowhereland is currently on view at Eskilstuna Art Museum, the theme of the exhibition  is “Merry Melancholy”. Seen from the outside gloom and melancholy has characterized the world's view of the Nordic countries. Sadness and longing. The darkness but also the light explosion with gentle transitions and the knowledge that everything lasts but a short time. Is it possible to add doses of humor and appreciation? Can we send melancholy a warm greeting? Can we go as far as to celebrate it? That’s what the Nordic Art Station will examine.

Nordic Now

Special issue on Nordic contemporary photography


My work is presented in the special issue on Nordic contemporary photography; nordic now! The publication features portfolios by over fifty established and upcoming Nordic artists.

In addition there are essays by leading critics and curators 
from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland, and interviews with representatives from Nordic institutions that support and promote photography. These are complemented by an interview with the legendary picture editor Kathy Ryan from the New York Times Magazine, who gives an outside view of Nordic contemporary photography. 
The publication  is the result of a unique collaboration between the photo magazines Filter (Denmark), Photo Raw (Finland) and Objektiv (Norway). The special issue is published by Musta Taide, which is part of Aalto University’s publishing house Aalto ARTS Books.
