Kristoffer Axén’s practice is centred around surrealism and solitude, examining imagined existences. This idea manifests both literally – as images are combined to create one, post-produced composite – and metaphorically – as figures are cast into thick shadows and states of withdrawal, even when surrounded by other beings. Axén notes: “The aim of my images is to extract the underlying, subjective reality of an untold story. I allude to the works of Mamma Andersson, Michael Borremans, Béla Tarr and David Lynch.”
