Sara Granér’s vibrant visual language and distinctive fable-like creatures have stepped out of the drawings and assembled around an absurdist model railway. Tufted yarn rugs meet welded scrap metal and ceramics in a playful installation that evokes a society seen from above.

Räls oss ifrån ondo [Derail Us from Evil] explores collective experiences, dreams and frustrations linked to the railway. Symbolically, the railway also represents human communication. Why does it have to be so run-down, and why is booking a ticket so difficult? Where are we heading? Granér combines playfulness with political gravity and existential confusion.
Sara Granér (b. 1980) is rooted in the world of comics and satire. She has published eight books and contributes regularly to newspapers and magazines. In 2025, she was awarded the newly established Löken Grant by the association of Swedish illustrators and graphic designers.
