Theo Elias
Fire
10—12 Juni 2022





NEJD presents "FIRE", an exhibition by Theo Elias that takes its starting point in the last year of the artist in Gothenburg. I this autobiographical exhibition, new and old works are combined in a new and remade context. Through photography, dark room experiments, painting, text and collages we closely follow encounters, actions, abstract details and depictions of nature in what seems like a never ending flow of images. How does the context and the community influence us? How does the making of photographs affect the world and the people around us?

The photographs in "Fire" are in the intersection between the depicted, the personal documentary and the abstract. Through a post production of ink and text as well as collages, the photographs are taken out of their initial depicting form. Instead, a layer of stories are created where the main topic centers around relationships, the intimate and the photographic process.
Theo Elias is a Swedish artist and photographer educated at Valand Academy of Fine Arts and Nordic School of Photography. His work, which contains a strong autobiographical dimension, is often long term and stretches over several years. Elias is working with photo books and publications, as well as exhibitions in Sweden and abroad. His debut book Smoke was the winner of Photo London & La Fabrica Dummy Award in 2019 and nominated for the Swedish Photobook Award in 2020. His second book Red / January 2021 was nominated for the Lucie Photo Book Prize 2021.
