Description: 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 behavioural 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 immobilised 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.
