Asger Carlsen (b. Frederiksberg, Denmark, 1973) is renowned for his surreal, digitally manipulated photographs that challenge traditional photographic aesthetics. He began his career at age 16 as a photojournalist and crime-scene photographer, but abandoned conventional photography to create unsettling, humorous and provocative images through sophisticated post-processing techniques. His work blends photography, drawing, and sculpture, often depicting distorted human forms or bizarre sculptural bodies that evoke an uncanny hyper-reality. He lives and works in New York City.
