biography
Ryan Koopmans (b. 1986) and Alice Wexell (b. 1992) are Sweden-based artists whose collaborative practice explores the evolving relationship between architecture, nature, and time. Working together for the past fifteen years, they create works that merge photography, motion, digital reconstruction, and sculptural form to reimagine built environments as living, transformative, and imaginative spaces. Koopmans is a Dutch-Canadian lens-based artist whose work examines architecture, society, and the natural world through geometry, repetition, and colour. Wexell is a Swedish digital artist whose background in animation, coding, and emerging technologies informs the duo’s distinctive approach to constructed environments that blur the boundary between the real and the imagined.
Together, they are best known for The Wild Within, an acclaimed body of work that digitally revives historically significant and often abandoned interiors through the introduction of vegetation, light, and motion. Their work has been exhibited internationally and is held in leading private and institutional collections.
