Mads Ljungdahl works with photography, drawing, graphics, painting, soundscapes, film and theatre. His visual work has several branches but is often characterized by a strong graphic pressence and a possible storyline, with emphasis on psychological and political matters - all merged with shifting ammounts of atmospheric, obscure and sensuous elements.
Part of ML's work-process is to develope parallel lines of contrasting projects (both in technique and approach) as they, for him, balance and nourish each-other. Some projects are relatively small, others extensive and ambitious - developed 'in the background' over many years, using several medias in combination.
His work has been exhibited and screened in many countries . He is represented in: Museet for Fotokunst, Odense, Denmark, FotoFest + Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, USA + National Library, London, UK, Danish National Art Library and private collections.
