"In Per Svensson s work, as in the cabinets of curiosity, the limits of what is an element of art and what is an element of nature are vague and undecided. Svensson s research is pursued through contemplation, through comparing, contrasting and finding similitudes, and by seeking to approach nature as well as connect with outer space as contradictory as it may seem. His art and his science is a matter of learning to see." (Mariangela Mendez Prencke) Using architectonic installations, video projections, diverse artefacts, drawings and sounds, Per Svensson s works are like a search for forgotten knowledge of our nature and our origins a place for alchemical thinking and creating. This richly illustrated bilingual book charters the fascinating work of the Swedish artist working in the intersection between sound and image, alchemy and nature.
