Oscar Häggström
Through large installations, using symbols and figures from popular culture, Oscar Häggström creates cartoons that when combined with projections, sound and music form a world of images of recognition and issues encompassed by the subject.
The video installation Did You See Me Yesterday? is a collage of different stories intertwined into a larger context around how we view identity in a new dynamic, increasingly digital world.
Animation has always been the foundation of Oscar Häggström's artistic practice. It has helped him tell stories and, by doing so, attempt to approach, analyse and understand our time. According to him, we can understand our era by showing and observing the modern technology that surrounds us. How do we use modern tools to shape our emotions in contemporary society, and how do they shape us?
