Bigert & Bergström

Bigert & Bergström are a Stockholm-based artist duo. Their creative partnership first began in 1986 and has since become internationally recognized for a wide range of conceptually and technically complex art projects.

Throughout their career, Bigert & Bergström have produced and created art projects ranging from large-scale sculptures and installations to performance and film. Often with a conceptual edge, the nexus of their work establishes itself at the junction between humanity, nature, and technology. With energetic curiosity and often using humor as a tool, the duo is known to analyze scientific and social issues discussed in contemporary society, such as climate change and environmental sustainability.
