About Bertil Nilsson

Born in Sweden, I live and work in London, UK.

In my work, which takes inspiration from movement and the human form, I collaborate extensively with dancers and circus artists. Photography is my primary medium of expression, but I'm also using moving image and investigating other mediums.

My first book Undisclosed: Images of the Contemporary Circus Artist about the inspiring and physical work of circus artists was published in 2011 to positive reviews.

Since then I have exhibited internationally and I have had solo shows in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada and the US as well as being featured in several prominent group shows, including Sounds of Silence at the CODA Museum.

In 2014, I was commissioned by the Roundhouse to present Luminescence, a site-specific exhibition which was supported by public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
