Photographer and Sculptor • Halmstad, Sweden

Jesper Molin is a Swedish artist and photographer whose work moves between staged photography and sculpture. After graduating from Fotoskolan Studium in Gothenburg in 2003, he has developed a highly constructed approach to image-making, building and directing each photograph from the first idea through to the final composition.

Questions around social norms, identity and the boundaries between what is considered masculine and feminine often run through Molin’s work. Behind his precise, graphic visual language there is frequently a more psychological or existential layer, where humour, tension and ambiguity are allowed to sit side by side.

His photographic series include Jasmine, Yes Baby! and Last in Old Studio, with works produced as signed limited-edition archival pigment prints. Alongside his photography, Molin also creates sculptural works, adding a more physical dimension to the same playful and sometimes provocative artistic world.

The PhotoGallery presents both Jesper Molin’s photography and selected sculptures at the gallery in Halmstad.

    Discover the world of Jesper Molin

    Somebody's wife. Dollar one. Smell of diamonds. Stuffed model. Trophies. Jesper Molin names his pictures the way an auction catalogue might if it were being honest, and the work is about what people put on in order to be seen a particular way.

    Thirty-eight of the pictures here come from the series Yes Baby, the rest from Jasmine. Almost all of it is black and white.
