Profile: Maja Malmcrona

She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in architecture from Umeå University and a Master of Science degree in philosophy from the University of Glasgow. She lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. With her background in working as an architect and her studies in philosophy, she is interested in space and our experiences, which are reflected in her creations. She has been exhibiting her works throughout Europe and other continents. Also received a prize for the Young Art Award by Art Forum Ute Barth. She continually produces her works in black and white, which represent and become shadows and lights. Japanese artists and cultures also influenced her works, such as In Praise of Shadows by Junichiro Tanizaki, who thrived on shade and shadows. Her works which are influenced by Japanese literature and culture contain this unique atmosphere and it attracts the audience’s eyes. When observing her works, which thoroughly focus on space and the experiences and sensations that arise from it and present artwork not as objects but as experiences, one might feel a sense of repeatedly conducting phenomenological experiments.
