Lotta Antonsson

On April 25, Fotografiska is opening a new exhibition with Lotta Antonsson, who is a central figure in Swedish contemporary photography. Since her breakthrough 30 years ago, she has explored questions of gaze, power, and objectification. She works with expanded photography and her perspective uses a personal archive of vintage magazines, mainly from the 1960s and 1970s, where her works examine how women’s bodies have been represented, desired, and consumed.

Using analog processes, she reshapes the visual language that has historically framed femininity, combining photography, collage, and such objects as shells and crystals in carefully choreographed installations. When bodies, eyes, and faces are covered or fragmented, a charged duality arises where the familiar becomes both beautiful and disturbing.
