Born 1979 Örebro, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm.
Larsson predominantly experiments with stop motion animation. The animation practice is a hands-on process where the material is co-creator and becomes the body for severe formulated situations, emotions and states. The cinematic language is surreal and can refer to horror films, folktales and abstract painting. In addition to film Larsson works with drawing, collage and painting. He is spreading his work through print making and self published art books. He is the co-runner of the experimental tape label Hockey Rawk and a member of the band Facenag.
