JEANNE, Collage med snäcka, 2021 © Lotta Antonsson

Lotta Antonsson is among Sweden’s most significant contemporary photographers. She first gained widespread recognition as a student at Konstfack in the 1990s and has since achieved major international success. For more than three decades, she has examined how the female body is depicted, desired, and consumed within visual culture. Now, in I Am Everything at Fotografiska, Antonsson presents an extensive exhibition where past meets present, the analog meets the sculptural, and the political intersects with the personal. The exhibition title also echoes her well-known photographic project and book, I Am a Woman.

The exhibition brings together photography, collage, and installation, where natural materials such as shells, amethysts, and corals play a central role. These elements are placed over faces, covering eyes or replacing mouths—subtle interventions that both disrupt and embellish. The familiar is transformed into something strange, creating a presence that is as physical as it is visual. Drawing from an extensive archive of magazines from the 1960s and 70s, Antonsson revisits the imagery that shaped her own upbringing, examining how these visual languages continue to influence how we see—and are seen—today.
