Light, perception, and interpretation is a recurring theme in Katarina Löfström’s videos, three-dimensional works, and installations, with many examples featured in this extensive monograph. In her body of work, she examines visual art’s inherent ability to break loose from traditional behavioural patterns and rational thinking, creating meaning without the use of language or text. The result often imparts a calmness that barely obscures the immobilised curiosity, brooding desires, and traumas beneath the surface. Dots and circles are recurring figures in her work, indicative of blurring, a shift or alteration of focus, and the displacement of our visual world.

This book includes texts by Jörg Heiser, Stefanie Hessler, and Filipa Ramos and has been designed by Sandra Praun.
