Lars Arrhenius (1966-2020) - The Man in Replay

The Man without one Way (1999) is a series of 171 computer-drawn images, representing a fragment of everyday life of an ordinary man. Arrhenius tells his story, from the moment he leaves home to when he returns, through various encounters, accidents, micro-events that influence the narration in different ways, leading it to various developments. With this series, arranged in space like a kind of computer game or musical notation, Arrhenius has achieved broad international visibility.

Lars Arrhenius was one of the Swedish artists most interesting in the fields of artist-made animation, conceptual drawing, and video art between the ’90s and 2020. His work sits in a very particular zone: between contemporary art, editorial graphics, minimalist cartoon, social philosophy, and popular culture.
Born in Stockholm in 1966, he died suddenly in 2020. He studied at the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm and later at the Rijksakademie van Amsterdam.
