Water & Light

Elis Lindsten, Joakim Möller, Sara Herrlander & Sofia Aedo Zahou

An overhead close-up shot of an androgynous-looking person lying submerged in a bathtub filled with water. The person's head and part of their chest are visible. They are looking upward with a serious, slightly startled expression, open mouth, and red lipstick. The entire bathtub water and background are bathed in a strong blue light, creating a surreal and almost underwater-like atmosphere.

In connection with the Stockholm Culture Festival 2026, Fotografiska Stockholm presents Water & Light, a public photo installation at Vattentorget next to the Golden Bridge (Guldbron) in Slussen. The installation is presented as part of Fotografiska Emerging Artists and brings together four Stockholm-based photographers: Elis Lindsten, Joakim Möller, Sara Herrlander, and Sofia Aedo Zahou.

Featuring around twenty photographic works, a visual whole is created where photography, light, and water interact in dialogue with the unique character of the location. "Water & Light makes photographic art accessible in the public space, offering Stockholmers and visitors an art experience that becomes a natural part of city life," says Mohamed Mire, Exhibition Producer at Fotografiska Stockholm.

The installation will be inaugurated during the Stockholm Culture Festival and will continue to provide the location with vibrant and artistic content throughout the late summer and autumn.
