Interview with artists Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt on their recent Graz exhibition titled The Space Between

by Endre Cserna

At Camera Austria’s gallery in Graz, the exhibition The Space Between by Klara Källström & Thobias Fäldt, curated by Francesca Lazzarini, explored how today’s visual culture shapes the way we understand contemporary political and social issues, especially in the context of late-capitalist societies that are more or less democratic. The artists focus on the “in-between” spaces – things that are usually overlooked, unclear, or difficult to define. They link historical events with present-day situations in unexpected ways, challenging the idea that an image simply shows one event or one fixed truth. Instead, they suggest that meaning comes from connections between different images, ideas, and contexts. This is particularly relevant in our rapidly changing visual culture, where AI-generated images and the constant flood of visuals on social media create an increasingly confusing and hard-to-read environment. In this situation, it becomes even more difficult to distinguish between what is meaningful, manipulated, or – not so simply, but – noise.
