Nanna Leth

Nanna Lath (photography, Karl Gabor)

Nanna Leth is a Swedish curator and artist based in Stockholm. With a background in filmmaking, she studied at the Stockholm Film School and holds a Master’s degree in Film Studies from Stockholm University. For over two decades, she has worked as a curator, exploring how art can serve as a vessel for storytelling and collective memory.

In her artistic practice, Leth draws inspiration from myths, folktales, and the cycles of nature — stories that return and transform, echoing the rhythms of growth, decay, and renewal. Her work reflects on the timeless human impulse to understand the world through narrative, finding meaning in repetition and change. By intertwining sculpture, photography, and painting, she creates intimate, peephole-like images that invite the viewer into quiet, contemplative spaces. Within these works, landscapes and natural forms often appear as living symbols, mediating between the real and the imagined, the past and the present.

Leth’s art dwells in the meeting point between story and matter — where myth becomes tangible and nature speaks in ancient voices. Through her practice, she seeks to reconnect with the enduring tales that bind us to the land and to each other.
