Light art in the city centre

Joel Slotte’s Mosse and Tattooed Friends juxtaposes mythical creatures and medieval medicinal herbs with symbols of death metal music and pop surrealism. Skulls are set side by side with chilli and raspberry, and an alien with a starfish. The drawings have been published earlier in the exhibition catalogue during the award year of 2021.
