“ One day I found myself standing on a plateau of my lifetime, looking at memories like artefacts. Objects frozen in time. For every passing year they got dustier and dustier. Until they were unrecognizable because of their foggy veil.
And now… Now I have stepped into this spectacle. Into the museum of my life”.
Zoi Johansson b. 1989 is an artist and poet living in Stockholm where she recently finished her studies at the Masterprogramme in Fine art at Konstfack.
Zoi has previously studied at the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts, Nyckelviksskolan and Grafikskolan. In addition to her master project, her recent exhibitions include the solo show “Porten till det förflutna” at Farsta Galleri, group exhibitions such as “HOTBOX” at På Sergels Torg, “How to Disappear Completely” at Galleri Assesor, “Microwave” at Konsthall C, etc.
Zoi works with relief and sculpture with an ancient plastering technique from Morocco called Tadelakt, that she combines with ancient stories from The Black Sea, where her ancestors come from. In her art she puts the material hardening beside the psycological hardening of the mind and create a path into the past aswell as into the future. In her work storytelling is central. There is something deaply human about it that she always seeks for.
