Desire, lust, intimacy, and resistance are reoccurring themes in Karlsson Lundgren’s practice. For more than 20 years, often with a starting point in the hidden micro-histories of the archive, he has gently let surface perspectives on queer experiences and Swedish gay history. Shared and temporary spaces such as the park, the night club, the bedroom or the work of activism often set the stage for his investigations. Within the parameters set up by the works, political and juridical structures are made visible, while often intertwined with moments of ecstasy, community, or liberation. Published in collaboration with Bonniers Konsthall in conjunction with the exhibition I Kiss Your Eyes (14 February –
7 April 2024). The book is produced by Bonniers Konsthall and distributed by Art & Theory Publishing.
