Erik Johansson

Erik Johansson constructs impossible situations from photographic material, aiming for scenes that remain visually convincing even when their logic breaks down. The Swedish photographer and visual artist, born in 1985, is based in Prague. His practice centers on personal projects and exhibitions rather than the unaltered capture of a passing moment. On the artist's website, finished images sit alongside accounts of the work process, giving viewers a route back from the illusion to its construction. That connection matters when studying composite photography: perspective, lighting and scale must cooperate even when the subject could not exist. Readers can begin with a finished scene, identify where its spatial assumptions become unstable, and then explore the process material to see how separate photographs were brought into one apparent world.
