Aron Fogelström (b. 1996, SE/FI) is an audio-visual artist and filmmaker whose work explores linguistic science fiction through sound, architecture and speculative storytelling. Working across film, installation, performance and sound, he develops narratives in which voices, bodies and spaces interact, producing shifting experiences of belonging, disorientation and collective sense-making in contemporary life.
Fogelström graduated from the Royal Institute of Art (KKH) in Stockholm in 2025, where he studied in the professor groups of Ming Wong and later Tris Vonna-Michell. At KKH, he co-taught two courses in sound-based artistic practice (2024 and 2025) together with Stella Dieden Richter under the platform Don’t Bring an Instrument, focusing on experimental approaches to listening, voice and collective sound-making.
His work has been presented in international and institutional contexts including the Seoul Mediacity Biennale (2021, with Ming Wong), ZK/U – Center for Art and Urbanistics (Berlin, 2023), Nobel Week Lights (Stockholm, 2023), Stockholm School of Economics (2024), and Rencontres Internationales Sciences & Cinéma (Marseille, 2025). In 2026, he will present a duo exhibition with Raimo Saarinen at ArtLab Gnesta.
