Johan Österholm is interested in the history of photography, the photographic process and its discursive ability to transcend the present; in other words, he strives to capture the traces left by every passing generation. These fields of study led him to focus on the treatment of light emitted or reflected by “heavenly bodies” that tend to dim due to the haze induced by light pollution. Photography, video and sculpture are the means by which Österholm is able to materialize this slowly dying light with a single aim: to demonstrate the connection between humanity and the night sky.
