Erik Johansson (b. 1985) is a Swedish photographer and visual artist based in Prague, Czech Republic. He is known for creating surreal worlds through the combination of photographs. He primarily focuses on personal projects and exhibitions, and his approach to photography is unique in that he seeks to capture ideas rather than moments. Using his camera and imagination, he strives to create a single, realistic image that tells a story, even if it includes elements that seem impossible. Essentially, he works to solve the problem of how to capture the impossible.

Erik Johansson does not use computer- or Ai-generated material, nor illustrated- or stock images, relying solely on complex combinations of his own photographs. This process is time-consuming, and he produces only about ten new works per year. To learn more about how his images come to life, you can watch his behind-the-scenes videos.

Erik Johansson exhibits around the world, and The Echo Chamber is his first exhibition in Norway. Last spring, he released the book of photos Make Believe, a collection of a hundred of his best photographs and drawings.
