Katarina Löfström: Ö

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