Carl Johan Erikson & Björn Larsson

Throughout their respective art careers, Björn Larsson and Carl Johan Erikson have, in a large number of artistic projects, generated alternative narratives and artistic statements on Swedish contemporary history. They have both conducted representative documentary projects spanning long periods, where the ongoing work has been conditional on gathering visual documentation. “Direct award contracts for a short film about medical age assessment” is part of the artistic research project Refuse to Kill – stories of the conscientious objectors funded by the Swedish Research Council. The project in ongoing since 2013 and have resulted in several publications as well as national and international presentations and exhibitions. https://vagradoda.se
