His Highness In A Ditch

About Tova Mozard: Mozard’s (b. 1978, Sweden) films often portray the search for, and loss of a sense of belonging, questioning the perception of self and the reification of fictional characters as the basis for real personalities. The malleability of one’s own personality and character also offers the possibility to play new roles. The artist’s work is characterised by curiosity for personalities and the slow unravelling of a narrative. Through video and photography, Mozard explores the margins between reality and make-believe. She focuses on the fringe of conventional life, eccentric characters and surreal, constructed spaces that blur this line between truth and fiction. Mozard holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy and has studied photography at University of California, Los Angeles. Solo exhibitions include Kulturhuset, Stockholm, Hasselblad Center, Gothenburg, and Botkyrka Konsthall, Stockholm, Gävle Konstcentrum. In addition, Mozard has exhibited at Scandinavian House, New York, Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Norrköpings Konstmuseum, Malmö Konstmuseum, Artipelag, Stockholm, Hilde Gallery, Los Angeles, SMAK, Ghent. Her work is included in several public and private collections, e.g. Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Hasselblad Foundation, Gothenburg and the Bonnier Collection. She lives in Stockholm and Los Angeles. Mozard is represented by Cecilia Hillström Gallery in Stockholm
