about

I am a visual & environmental anthropologist based in Sweden.

I am primarily interested in landscape relations and environmental change, understanding landscapes as made up of human, non-human, and more-than-human interactions. I explore this through visual methodologies in which images and image-objects bring landscapes into the artistic process. This is an integral part of my methodology and offers new possibilities for dissemination. Working primarily with analogue techniques, I utilise the textures of the grain and the slower process of chemical development, held together with a palette inspired by the Swedish landscape and the film occupying the camera.

Museum collaboration is a very important part of my practice as both a method and a way to bring the results to broader publics. I have collaborated with Nordiska Museet on their exhibition Arktis - medan isen smälter (The Arctic - while the ice is melting) and accompanying volume Arktiska spår: Nature och kultur i rörelse, which can be found here, and have recently contributed to their new permanent exhibition Nordbor (Nordic Life).

I am currently based at Linköping University working on a project concerning landscape relations and data infrastructures and a project examining how people return to lost or changed forests in rural Sweden.
