Through a combination of text and photo documentation, the book captures the cross-cultural collaboration and explores how Ylva Carlgren, Inez Jönsson, Martin Kozlowski, Juri Markkula, and Karl Patric Näsman interpret and transform the folding screen within their contemporary artistic practices. While highlighting each artist’s individual approach, the reader in this book is invited into the workshops, materials, and a detailed documentation of the final ten works,
all explored in relation to the form, material, and cultural tradition of the Japanese folding screen. Ylva Carlgren, Inez Jönsson, and Karl Patric Näsman share a deep connection to craftsmanship, reflected in their choice of materials and time-intensive, meticulous processes. In a different but complementary direction, Markkula and Kozlowski incorporate digital aesthetics and technologies into their work. Markkula’s pieces are shaped by industrial manufacturing techniques and machine-based processes, while Kozlowski uses a layered painting method influenced by digital editing aesthetics.
