Science and art have a lot in common. Both scientists and artists need to be creative problem solvers, and their work can suddenly take a new direction based on new ideas and insights.
Late photographer Lennart Nilsson’s many years of work at Karolinska Institutet moved in the borderland between artistic expression and scientific work. His work has deep roots in scientific image-making, which Nilsson pursued a dialogue with – and renewed.
Based on Lennart Nilsson’s last laboratory at KI, which was catalogued in 2018, KI’s Medical History and Heritage Unit has created an exhibition that presents Lennart Nilsson, the historical background to his work and the forward-looking perspective that the Lennart Nilsson Award represents.
You are welcome to experience the exhibition by joining a guided tour!
