Annika von Hausswolff

"Each new exhibition could be seen as a room in that hotel, being in constant flux. A relatively inhospitable hotel with stairs leading nowhere and lots of locked doors, but also with large halls, intimate and erotic rooms and sometimes, breathtaking panoramas."

The book features a selection of the artist´s works from the past ten years, in which the themes that have always characterized Annika von Hausswolff´s production are developed, and her importance as one of the leading Nordic artists is manifested.
Some recurrent subjects in Annika von Hausswolff´s works are patriarchal structures, criminology, global capitalism, the subconscious and a profound interest in the photographic image with a predilection for analogue technology.

Annika von Hausswolff (born 1967) lives and works in Gothenburg.
