I write, shoot and direct short films, paint, and build images and worlds with and without AI. Film is where I started. Now I'm studying AI content engineering at Berghs School of Communication. Scroll down for a look into my world.
Concepts, worlds and moving image
Fotografiska × Berghs · 2026
The brief: pick a work at Fotografiska, take notes, then rebuild it from memory with AI. I chose a Martin Parr photograph, described it in words alone, and then turned it into video.
The reflection looked at which figure the reconstruction gives movement and agency to, and which one it leaves standing still.
Spädkonstig suppressionist tusch of a sömnfylld mannsling with hair like an unmade bed, en röktanke falling asleep in his mouth, tunglockade eyes looking slightly past the future. Face folded like a paper map, in rostrosa, lerguld and skärnoll, with halta streck drawn by someone talking on the phone, that are not on speaking terms. A skifferblå jacket that used to be a coat, with borstiga konturer and en vit krage som ljuger. Bakgrunden är skild: salviagrått on the left, kindblek on the right, covered in nervklotter, slingrande som en fyllegång. Klumpmått proportions, on paper that remembers being a tree, tunnblött. Early 3010s, svensk eftermodernhet.
AI image · Berghs · 2026
The brief: make something neither you nor your teachers have seen before, with AI as a collaborator that expands your imagination rather than a tool that just follows instructions.
The prompt is part of the piece. It pushes the model past its defaults with made-up words, words split and crashed together, and Swedish and English mixed mid-sentence.
Speculative exhibition · 2026
Nordiska museet, 2056: an exhibition of digital folklore from the early AI era, when people handed their memories and conversations to machines that had never lived a life alongside them.
What makes someone a keeper of your life? Is it memory, or participation?
Writing, directing, camera & producing
Short film · Writer & director
A conversation about memory in a basement of pipes and valves. An homage to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
Short film · Writer, director, producer
Science fiction. Vessel: Ackja. Days in space: 612.
Music video · Director & camera
I produced pianist Ebba Dankel's first music video, recorded with her trio at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. Shot on an empty concert-hall stage, from the floor and from above.
Scene · from Scenes from a Marriage
A couple on a red sofa in a therapy session, framed like an old television broadcast.
Drawn and painted by hand
Oil pastel, oil paint, ink and digital painting. Everything here is made by hand.

I come from film: writing, directing and working on small crews. Now I'm exploring AI as one more tool in the creative work.
Since 2023 I've worked freelance as a camera operator on independent, self-financed films.
I'm drawn to culture, the arts and conceptual ideas. I'm looking for roles where AI sits inside creative and strategic work.
