_
It moves through the shadowed hours where resistance circulates as a collective tactic. The works mirror the “long night” of anarchist imagination, the expectation of change without a promise. In this quiet, gestures accumulate; like comets passing through a dark sky, these acts of vigilance glow briefly and insistently, mapping new paths. Stillness becomes preparation: an opening toward rupture.
“I find authority unbearable, dependence unlivable, and submission impossible. Orders, exhortations, advice, requests, demands, proposals, directives, threats... all of it paralyzes me, pierces my throat, and turns my stomach. Faced with any command, I feel like the child I once was ... Where is the solar and solitary, magical and magnificent? The radiant exceptions whose consciousness does not dissolve under oppression? What happens to the comets that cross the sky solitary and proud before disappearing into the night?”
Michel Onfray, Politique du rebelle: Traité de résistance et d’insoumission. Paris: Grasset, 1997.
About the artists:
Alice Ind Ryne (b. 1998, Sweden)
Alice Indi Ryne is an artist and filmmaker based in Gothenburg and Malmö.
In 2024 she received her master’s degree at Malmö Art Academy with the exhibition Forever Endeavor. She works primarily with installations as well as a wide variety of moving images – everything from feature films to short video loops, always with a keen interest in the experience of standing at the edge of what we can know, see, remember, and understand.
Alva Markusson (b.1995,Sweden)
Alva Markusson earned her BFA and MFA in Textile Art from HDK-Valand, she currently lives and works in Gothenburg. Alva sees her artworks as an extension and exploration of inner desire and needs, placing the gap between identity expectations and reality at the forefront. She presents these dichotomies through material and visual imagery, creating works that embody the tensions between attraction and discomfort, softness and brutality, offering abstract portrayals of female sexuality.
Amanda Soeiro Nentis (b.2000, Sweden)
Amanda Soeiro Nentis is a Gothenburg-based visual artist working with photography and sculpted installations. She examines loss, identity, and heritage through mythical and ritual references, often using archival materials from her family.
Beatrice Dryselius (b. 1991, Sweden)
Beatrice Dryselius is a visual artist, illustrator and architect working interdisciplinarily across art and architecture. She holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from Chalmers University of Technology and ENSAPB in Paris. Her works are often autobiographical and explore themes such as social hierarchies, femininity and aging. She currently lives and works in Gothenburg.
Filippa Axelsson (b.1998,Sweden)
Filippa Axelsson is a mixed material artist with her basis in photography. Axelsson is currently working on the project “Untitled snapshots” where she translates her own snapshots into woven wallhung tapestries. This allows her to explore how the fast paced and casual action of snapshot photography contrasts with the time-consuming and intricate craft of weaving.
Irma Beširević (b. 1998, Sweden, Bosnia and Hercegovina)
Irma Beširević works interdisciplinary within performance, new media, painting and installation. Her work examines the body’s relationship to technology, paying particular attention to digital choreography, surveillance, and habitual gestures. She lives and works in Gothenburg.
Lani DuVall (b. 1993, USA)
Lani DuVall is an artist based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Combining processes of collage, sculpture, and experimental printmaking, she blends her own personal experience with cultural history. Her practice explores ideas surrounding purity, gendered consumption, and reconciliation through an abundance of sourced imagery and found material.
Leonardo Taddei (b. 1995, Italy)
Leonardo Taddei is a visual artist working with photography, film, text, and reassembled found objects. His practice lies in a playful exploration of how images can be made, reworked, and interpreted. He recently completed an MFA in Photography at HDK-Valand. Taddei is based in Göteborg and works between Sweden and Italy.
Martin Holm (b. 1985, Sweden)
Martin Holm is a Gothenburg-based visual artist with an MFA from Akademin Valand (2014) and a BFA from Cambridge School of Art (2008). While his artistic practice is firmly grounded in painting, recurring elements include cartography, collage, assemblage and recycling, all used in both material ways and as idea-based metaphors. His works pave paths into alternative spaces not necessarily bound by time, the laws of physics, geometric perspectives or social constructions. The studio process is his attempt at coming to terms with the chaos of the contemporary by any means necessary.
Mira Sjövall (b.2002, Sweden)
Mira Sjövall is a visual artist and photographer based in Gothenburg, where she’s also educated though HDK-Valand’s bachelor program in photography. Sjövall’s practice revolves around how acts of care and protection are simultaneously performed to preserve and abject, and how this behaviour shapes identity, relationships and social structures.
Myrto Patramani (b. 1998, Greece)
Myrto Patramani is a visual and ceramic artist, having graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts. She is currently completing her MFA in Ceramics at HDK-Valand, supported by the NEON scholarship.
Her work explores the connections between objects, humans, and nature through sculpture and installation, working multidisciplinary with clay and material research. Drawing from Greek heritage, mythology, and theatrical imagery, she blends narrative, material, and form to reframe tradition within a contemporary context. She has participated in international residencies in Italy and Denmark, and her work is included in both public and private collections.
Sofus Ravn (b.1994, Denmark)
Sofus Ravn works in an eclectic way, bringing together photography, drawing, sculpture, and installation. Drawing on childhood symbols, popular culture, and fragments of memory and loss, his practice blends the playful with the uncanny.
Tommy Becker Larsen (b. 1984 Trondheim, Norway)
Tommy Becker Larsen is a visual artist based in Halland, working mainly with wood sculpture. He often uses fallen or naturally aged trees, shaping them through an intuitive process that follows the material’s form. His work is related to his personal journey of recovery, advocating for awareness around mental health.
