Absurdum Temporary Art is a performance group based in Malmö. Their work takes the form of conceptual collages, often interactive or immersive.

Absurdum Temporary Art was founded in 2019 by Lisa Mårtensson, director and performance artist and Lotta Fahlén, composer and sound artist. They have since created about twelve pieces, both for the stage, galleries, conferences and festivals. They often collaborate with other artists from different practices.
