Henrik Håkansson

A central focus of Henrik Håkansson’s (*1968 in Helsingborg, SE) artistic work is his exploration of our conceptions of nature, culture and science. He investigates how they interrelate and the kinds of images and realities they evoke. He couches his artistic questions and process-oriented research in various media such as film, photography, text, sound and cross-media installations. He was shown at the 2003 Venice Biennale and has had numerous solo exhibitions, such as in the Palais de Tokyo in Paris (2006) or in the Taipei Fine Arts Museum (2018/2019).
