EXHIBITION · Filling in the Gaps · FUTURES Talent Marcus Gustafsson · CPF

Visit our VÆKST exhibition park to experience the solo exhibitions of the 2025 FUTURES Nordic Talents, including Andreas Hopfgarten, Frida Jersø, Marcus Gustafsson, and Maria Høy Hansen. 

Filling in the Gaps is a deeply personal project by Swedish photographer, Marcus Gustafsson, focused on familial history, memory, and human connection. The series brings together Gustafsson’s own photographs with archival photographs taken by members of his family, incorporating mixed-media manipulations, such as painting, drawing, and taping. 

The project offers a visual dialogue that engages with themes of family, trauma, and reconciliation, encouraging the viewer to consider how we can use archival material to reconstruct memories and navigate the spaces between the remembered, imagined, and unknown. By weaving together the past and present, Filling in the Gaps reflects on the ways in which personal narratives are constructed, altered, and reinterpreted over time.
