Inka (Finland) and Niclas (Sweden) Lindergård is an awarded artist duo who works primarily with photography-based art. They have worked together since 2007 and live in Stockholm, Sweden. The materiality of photography is crucial in Inka and Niclas Lindergård’s work which tells of the contemporary perception processes of nature and the connection of the photographic medium with the stylisation of landscape. The artist duo creates hyperreal photographic utopias that synthesize and question beauty, kitsch, and visual desires in the imagery of the natural world. Misplaced sunsets, bubblegum waves, and full-spectrum panoramas, exaggerate the already beautiﬁed landscape photographs we surround ourselves with.

"There are so many complex dynamics at play between humans and nature. We travel, we photograph, we consume, and we use images of nature to shape our identities now more than ever before. It’s not that we’re looking for answers, but since we’re into photography and being outside, reflecting on and using the interplay between photography, humans and nature itself as our base material – the clay – has become the foundation of our work.” Inka & Niclas

The studio of... Inka & Niclas

The Swedish artist duo Inka & Niclas travel the world to capture nature in its most perfect form. Their photographs not only celebrate the beauty of the landscape but also challenge us to reflect on our relentless search for the ultimate image. Their family plays an indispensable part in this process, literally growing into the photographs. This becomes especially clear in the long-running series "Family Portraits," where the outlines of the family shimmer across the water. For the children it has become a familiar ritual: traveling, changing clothes, posing and being photographed. “We like how the passage of time becomes visible as the kids grow, the earlier ones had two and something small on one arm, and now there are four standing.”
