FAMU Guest Talks: Henrik Strömberg
19. 11. 2025
Henrik Strömberg (Sweden, 1970) is a Berlin-based artist whose practice spans photography, sculpture, and installation. He works with the idea of metamorphosis, transformation, and the decomposition of materials such as found objects, sculpture, collage, and photography, with the intention to create ambiguous narrations, formations of detail, or a kind of temporary entropy. Strömberg holds an M.A. in Photography and History of Photography from FAMU, Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, and a B.A. in Fine Art from Camberwell College of Art, London. His work often explores themes of transformation, otherness, and societal paradigms, merging diverse media into spatial installations that engage with sculptural volumes, architectural language, and repurposed materials.
Strömberg has exhibited extensively across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, with institutional presentations in countries including Sweden, Germany, Italy, France, South Korea, Japan, and the United States. His solo exhibitions include moon half – glass full to the brim (Kunstraum HKM Oxbron, 2025), object amnesic: a compost manifesto (Dorothée Nilsson Gallery, 2022), and Symbiopoiesis (Galerie Papillon, Paris, 2018). His work has also featured in major biennials and group shows such as the Busan International Photography Festival and the Sculpture Biennale in Seoul.
Alongside his artistic practice, Strömberg has contributed to academia as a guest lecturer and tutor at institutions such as Joongbu University in South Korea, and Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Germany. His publications include CHRONOS (Edizioni Morra, 2025) and object amnesic – a compost manifesto (Blow Up Press, 2021), winner of the BUP Book Award. Strömberg’s works are held in public and private collections internationally, including the Fondazione Morra (Italy), Public Art Agency Sweden, and the Alexander Tutsek Stiftung (Germany).
