Peter Geschwind: After Image

This publication was published in connection with Geschwind's exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall in 2023, completed after his passing in 2021. The book deep-dives into his career as one of the tone-setting artists in the recalibration of art's expression and forms that took place in the early 1990s.

From the publisher:
Geschwind developed a unique technology for creating “reality animations”. Using sound and light to create animations of real things in the physical space. The result is for example dancing brooms or popcorn appearing to pop. Just like in the classic artistic trompe l’oeuil technique, the works are experienced as true, while you simultaneously understand that you’re being tricked.

Peter Geschwind (1966–2021) lived and worked in Stockholm where he had great influence on the field of art. In his artistry, Geschwind explored a variety of materials and techniques. He often reused everyday objects that he redefined and charged with new meanings. The usually low-tech, works have a D.I.Y. feel, playing with popular cultural references, in which humour as well as melancholy are present. Geschwind had a background in music – sound, rhythm, and pulse are constantly present as an additional dimension in his artistry.
