One Sun / Alexander Wessely

Art&Culture | Interview
Alexander Wessely moves through sculpture, spatial installations, film and large-scale scenography with monolithic, ceremonial clarity and brutality. Light, body, architecture collide in spaces that feel almost ritualistic. He’s worked with The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Grimes, Anyma, Arca. Shown at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Konserthuset. Played with scale at Sphere in Las Vegas and at Madison Square Garden. He was the creative mind behind the 2025 Nobel Prize Ceremony, tracing light from the first spark of dawn. Stark. Precise. Brutal, if you want to call it that. And it works. Every single time. Leaves you altered, mesmerized, lingering, unsettling, like a forgotten memory that presses against the skin of the mind.
