Bertil Nilsson | Bertil Nilsson on Tumblr (b.1981, Sweden/UK) - Eike von Stuckenbrok (2009)

Analytical, enterprising and positive, Bertil Nilsson is a Swedish-born and London-based artist-photographer. Grace, humanity and expressiveness, Bertil’s work often comes back to the incredible potential of the human body, how it can be pushed and what we can express with it through movement, across language and cultural barriers. “I’m fascinated by all the amazing things we as humans can do if we really try. Anyone that pursues something out of the ordinary, exploring new ground, not repeating themselves or others, is a huge inspiration to me.” Bertil collaborates extensively with dancers and circus artist, you can find more works and in formation on Bertil’s website and Tumblr.

Caten | 2012
Kinetic sound installation

Designed for the Saint Sauveur chapel in Caen, Caten is a site specific, kinetic sound installation comprised of 300 wires suspended in the chapel. Gravity pulls the wires into a parabolic shape that mimics the arched interior spaces of the church as a rotating arm  attached to the wires causes them to rise and fall. The motor emits a series of notes inspired by hymn to St John the Baptist,  as the new notes play, the lower frequency notes  continue to resonate throughout the space— referencing the incantations and chants that once filled the space.

Ashkan Honarvar - Faces, 2009 - pen on photograph

“Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. It occurs in places you least expect, revealing its art in the human body, but also cruelly absent in the presence of deformation and scars. Honarvar depicts an undeniable, unavoidable beauty by accepting the darker sides of human nature.”
