I’m a curator and exhibition producer based in Sweden, crafting unique visual concepts with a lasting impact. Looking for my next opportunity to make a change.
Ethnologist, museologist and cultural entrepreneur educated at Umeå and Uppsala universities. The themes that pervade my work and my studies can be summarized with the concepts of identification, commitment and power with a focus on LGBTQ+ issues and representation. A theoretical conceptual apparatus that characterizes my work is performativity, performance, queer, subjectivity, affect, vulnerability. This can be seen, among other things, in my essays which dealt with negative norms and homophobia in men's football, the importance of Army of lovers for LGBTQ+ fans who fought for the rights of LGBTQ+ people with camps as a resistance strategy and always made sure that homosexuality is something you can dance to, Museums work with queer sources, collections and representation issues.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography can tell a story, it can capture a moment in time, it can document, and it can be art. There are many technical uses for photography as well as social and creative ones. How we use and interact with photography is highly personal and will differ from one person to the next. Personally I'm mostly interrested in portraiture, sport and street photography.
Portraiture
FACES
Portraiture is a representation of a specific person by reproducing their individual features, where above all the facial features must be prominent, in contrast to a full figure, where the whole body is depicted. A portrait is a picture that shows a person's individual character traits and facial expressions.
Sports photography
FOOTBALL
Sports photography is the photography of ongoing sporting events. Sports and action photography is difficult because it requires in-depth knowledge of the subject's movement patterns and regulations. It's about quick reaction skills and easy-to-handle technology. My very favourite sport is football.
Street photography
URBAN LIFE
Street photography at its essence means candid photography of humanity. A street photograph is a real moment. The genre is both about the photographer and their subject. Street Photographers filter the world to share what interests them and what they are feeling. It is a form of documentary photography where the photographer and the subject are in real situations in public spaces such as streets, parks, beaches, malls or political meetings. However, street photography does not require the presence of a street, people or the urban environment.
THE BEAUTIFUL GAME
Jag älskar det vackra fotbollsspelet. Flera av mina projekt innehåller fotboll på något sätt. The Beautiful Game är ett projekt som syftar till att dokumentera lokal fotboll genom bilder av deltagande spelare, ledare och entusiaster som tillsammans gör sporten möjlig. Intervjuer och bilder skapar berättelser och dokumentation av 2020-talets lokala fotbollstalang.

PUBLICATIONS
In the course of my time at Umeå and Uppsala University, I have written a number of bachelor theses. The themes that pervade my work and my studies can be summarized with the concepts of identification, commitment, and power with a focus on LGBTQ+ issues and representation. A theoretical conceptual apparatus that characterizes my work is performativity, performance, queer, subjectivity, affect, vulnerability. This can be seen, among other things, in my essays which dealt with negative norms and homophobia in men's football, the importance of Army of lovers for LGBTQ+ fans who fought for the rights of LGBTQ+ people with camps as a resistance strategy and always made sure that homosexuality is something you can dance to, Museers work with queer sources, collections and representation issues.
Bachelor thesis in museology
WE´RE QUEER
“WE´RE QUEER: Museums work with queer sources, collection, and representation” (2023). In this essay, I examine how museums work to musealize queer sources and objects, in order to create a greater understanding of how museums work to elevate previously marginalized or excluded queer representation in their collections.
Bachelor thesis in ethnology
ARMY of LOVERS
“Army of Lovers; Queerness, camp and fandom” (2021) explores the importance of the swedish popband Army of Lovers, for LGBTQ+ fans who fought for the rights of LGBTQ+ people with camps as a resistance strategy and always made sure that homosexuality is something you can dance to.

Working with different types of media digital art is one of the most interesting ones with its endless possibilities.

METAMORPHOSIS
Series of digitally enhanced photographes exploning the beauty of bones, bodies and the notion of the enevitability of death but also the hope that lies in metamorphosis. Memento mori is an artistic or symbolic trope with its roots in the philosophers of classical antiquity and appeared in funerary art and architecture from the medieval period onwards.
