OPEN CALL
NUD3 & C3NSOR3D is a series of experimental art sessions by Johan Grundin. Selected participants become co-creators in photography, body paint, movement, performance, film and painting. No fixed poses. No predetermined ending.
WHAT THIS IS
Johan leads the artistic vision and creates the world of the session through light, music, colour, body paint, movement, photography, film and canvas. There is a direction, but never a fixed script. The session is free to move, change and follow the energy of the moment.
JOHAN LEADS THE VISION. YOU BRING THE ENERGY. TOGETHER, THE ART COMES ALIVE.
You enter that world as a co-creator. Your body, movement, personality and presence become part of the artwork. Johan guides the session and its visual direction while you respond naturally to what happens around you. Paint yourself. Move. Dance. Slow down. Become still. Follow the feeling.
Photography, film and painting happen at the same time. One moment changes the next. Paint changes the body. The body changes the movement. Movement changes the image.
The idea is not to perform something perfectly. It is to enter Johan’s artistic vision, go with the flow and see what the two of you can create in the moment.
THE ART CAN BE BOUNDARYLESS. YOUR BOUNDARIES ARE NOT.
A NEW CHAPTER
After a period working on other project, Johan is returning his attention to his own personal artistic work. Awake the Fusion in You and his new project NUD3 & C3NSOR3D is the continuation, and the next step.
A small series of sessions will push the process further through body, paint, light, movement, photography, film and physical traces on canvas.
His practice has never belonged to one medium. Paint, skin, light, movement, shadow and camera meet in the same space. The work is not made to explain everything. It is made to be felt.
Each session is a meeting between direction and instinct, structure and flow, what is shown and what remains unseen.
DURING THE SESSION
Images from the creative process itself: body paint, movement, light, canvas and moments that happen while the work is still becoming.
THE RESULT
The session is only the beginning. Selected moments can become finished photographic artworks, mixed-media pieces and physical works that carry the energy of what happened in the room.
A short introduction to Johan Grundin, the artist behind NUD3 & C3NSOR3D, and the creative path that brought photography, body paint, movement, performance, painting and film into one process.
The work is led by Johan’s visual direction, but it stays alive through energy, instinct and what happens in the room.
This film comes from Johan’s performance-based visual world. It is about atmosphere, light, body, movement and presence.
It is not a preview of exactly what a NUD3 & C3NSOR3D session will look like. It shows the kind of energy the work can carry when image, performance and feeling meet.
THE ARTIST
Johan Grundin is a Swedish multidisciplinary artist working across photography, body paint, painting, performance and film. His process brings several media together at once: the body becomes part of the image, movement leaves physical traces, and the camera records moments that can later become finished works.
For NUD3 & C3NSOR3D, Johan leads the artistic vision while leaving room for instinct, personality, energy and the unexpected to change what happens in front of the camera.

THE SESSIONS
Each session begins with a direction, not a fixed ending. Johan leads the visual world and the session follows the energy that appears.
Freedom, movement, joy, wildness, release.
A release-led session built around instinct and movement. Music, paint and the body push the session forward until something unexpected appears.
Slow movement, touch, skin, shadow, breath and warm controlled light.
Slower and more intimate in visual rhythm. Skin, shadow, breath, stillness and warm light create a softer but intense energy.
Gaze, tension, attraction, distance, wanting and restraint.
Built around gaze, attraction and distance. The tension sits in what is seen, approached, wanted and held back.
Sexual energy as human energy. Confidence, tension and expression.
Explores sexual energy as human energy, not as an instruction. Confidence, presence, tension and expression lead the visual language.
From restraint toward release, expression, play and owning your presence.
A move from self-consciousness into release. Play, attitude, expression and owning your presence become part of the material.
Mix everything. No fixed direction. Full freedom, instinct and flow.
A free-flow session where all the energies can mix. No fixed theme. Movement, sensuality, gaze, release, play and instinct can move together and change in the moment.
