Arvida Byström, SE

Arvida Byström (b. 1991, Stockholm) explores how digital culture shapes our understanding and consumption of identity, intimacy, and desire.

Her use of hyper-feminine aesthetics and visual tropes examines social aesthetics and power dynamics across digital landscapes, highlighting the performance of the self in online settings. Byström operates within an aesthetic universe of disobedient bodies, fruits in lingerie, tulips, and AI sex dolls. Her photography, performances, and sculptures have been shown in various international institutions, including the V&A, London, and Tate. Last year, her work In the Clouds was featured by Art News as one of the most defining projects of the year.
