World In Motion

It’s easy to understand why Lars Arrhenius has had considerable success on the international art scene. His pictorial language is universal, and he uses everyday items and situations to put forward philosophical questions about cause and effect, and the concept of free choice.

His series of colourful pictures work very much in the same way as a movie made up from stills. In The Man Without One Way the viewer is confronted with the different possible realities stemming from everyday choices and decisions. The question asked is “What if?”

In The Street the medium has changed to film, the characters are actually moving this time. But the theme remains intact. Ordinary people performing everyday tasks, like the cogs of a wheel in society’s machinery.
