Max Göran
Visual Art
Max Göran, born in 1987 in Mora, Sweden, lives in Berlin. He studied Fine Art in the class of Prof. Josephine Pryde at the Berlin University of the Arts and completed an MFA at Goldsmiths, University of London. His work spans video, installation, and performance, using humor and metaphor to approach complex and contradictory topics without claiming a reactionary stance. Collaboration is integral to his practice; together with Josefin Arnell, he forms the duo HellFun. His works have been exhibited internationally, including at CPH:DOX, Kasseler Dokfest, Athens Biennale, and Kunstverein München. A background in documentary film influences much of his video work.
