Vilhelm Sundin creates photographic and moving-image works that oscillate between observation and fiction. Working across still images, screens, and projections, Sundin employs both contemporary and obsolete technologies to construct atmospheres that are at once familiar and elusive. Drawing from poetry, street photography, cinema, and painting, his practice considers the unstable relationship between reality, memory, and dreams, often depicting quiet scenes of everyday life marked by subtle temporal dislocation.

Sundin received an MFA from Simon Fraser University and a BA in Media Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. His solo exhibition Soon was presented as part of the 2021 Capture Photography Festival. In 2016, Sundin was awarded the inaugural Lind Prize, and his work was subsequently included in N. Vancouver, the opening exhibition of The Polygon Gallery. Born in Sweden, Sundin relocated to Canada in 2006 and lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia.
