Klas Eriksson is interested in control,
power and limitations.
He expresses himself through performance,
video and sculpture.
Klas Eriksson’s point of departure is mass-culture,
where, employing various strategies,
he explores our notions of authenticity,
power and artistic expression.
Klas Eriksson has always enjoyed doing his own thing,
establishing a communicative immediacy,
which is both visually and conceptually innovative.
His works often borrow their expressions from popular culture, subculture and various power structures.

Marina Abramovic & Ulay, Vito Acconci, Judy Chicago,
Friedrich Nietzsche, Francis Alÿs, Michel Foucault,
