Erik Johansson's Surreal Photography Exhibition

Swedish artist and photographer Erik Johansson greeted China with his surreal photography exhibition at Today Art Museum recently, bringing audiences a truly immersive art journey through audio and visual experiences. Johansson is talented at turning fantastical and absurd dreams into image works. Unlike traditional photography that only captures the still moment, Johansson is able to make images speak for themselves by capturing the thoughts flowing inside them.
