Adam Ekberg creates image-based works that evoke narratives and provoke critical considerations. Through surrealistic photographs that depict mass-produced consumer objects removed from context – arranged in sculptural assemblages, isolated in natural landscapes, and often captured in motion – Ekberg uses scale, juxtaposition, and sendups of popular visual culture to create compositions that can feel both playfully comedic and unsettlingly enigmatic. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the George Eastman Museum, and others.
