Bjørn Melhus, X
As in mathematics, Berlin based artist Bjørn Melhus uses X as an independent or unknown variable, depersonalizing his subjects and reducing them to prototypes of raw emotion. In a series of videos and installations, Melhus explores humanity's collective fears by depicting different traumas and versions of the apocalypse.
