In a time marked by war, violence, and environmental threats, the idea for my work, "Endtime Fantasies," was born.

In Endtime Fantasies, I have explored the artistic expression of the apocalypse and its role in reflecting humanity's fantasies, fears, and traumas. The theme has served as a tool for artists to reflect on contemporary societal issues and initiate a dialogue on existential and ethical questions through art history. And like these artists I used the metaphor of the apocalypse to reflect on my own fears and hopes during these tumultuous times. 

The 27 images in "Endtime Fantasies" originate from existential questions and portray the modern apocalypse. As in all apocalyptic narratives, fears and hopes are intertwined in a narrative shaped by combining fantasy with reality. 

"Endtime Fantasies" constitutes a series of photomontages depicting the contemporary apocalypse by merging images from my surroundings, international media (parts from pictures from Gaza and Ukraine for example), and symbols from secular and religious apocalyptic narratives. 

The project was shown in a solo exhibition at Danderyds Konsthall in Stockholm in September 2024 where several pieces were sold, including at the Affordable Art Fair in Stockholm. For 2025, three more exhibitions are planned. 

After realizing that every apocalyptic narrative existed for humans to process the deep rooted existential thoughts and questions that theology tries to explain, I decided to address the phenomenon from a theological yet critical perspective. That's why special emphasis is placed on the Book of Revelation and the duality of the apocalypse between good and evil. This duality is visually expressed in various ways and has been inspired by both pictorialism and dadaism. The Book of Revelation, the archetype of all apocalyptic art and narratives serves as a framework for this artistic research. Every image is marked with the number of the chapter in the revelation it referred to. In some images I added the referred text lines from the Book of Revelation. This is mainly for creating a storyline but also for giving a hint of its deeper meaning, possible translation or to address and raise questions about the status quo. With Endtime Fantasies I hope to sensitize people to the idea that apocalyptic narratives reflect ourselves and our zeitgeist. They’re not our destiny, they work as tools to shape our own future and to take the narrative in our own hands. 

Where there is concern about the future, trauma to address, or a need and desire for radical change, there is room and relevance for an apocalyptic fantasy. This is mine.
