Group show ... och skuggorn, 2021
Gallery Backlund, Göteborg
Leave Them Alone 2020
Ghen, Belgium
This manifestation has two central locations where Mammelokker is portrayed. Mammelokker comes from an old roman legend that tells of a man sentenced to starvation in prison. He heroically survives since his daughter is able to visit him so that he can be breastfeed by her. Both of the artworks (the stone sculpture and the mural) are made by male artists, giving a male perspective on the story.
This manifestation wants to give a female perspective which I find more relevant to the story.
The song is using the scar as a metaphor of describing the mental effects like internalised male gaze. Boobes are constantly beeing sexualised and women with big boobes are often deminished to being/feeling like they are only a pair of breasts. There is a male perspective and gaze associated with how breasts are portrayed which affects how women see their own bodies.
Making this music video is an attempt to heal those scars and to claim self ownership of the female body.

Interactive performance in bee costumes
The bee costumes were worn during the performance in which the bees would interact with people in the festival area.
The approach on the bees were in a depressed state of mind.
Depicting solitaire bees as opposed to bees living in colonies. Since it is getting harder for bees to find food the connection was made that they are getting lonelier, just like humans.
Conversations with festival visitors were on the topic of loneliness and they were asked when they felt most and least lonely.
It took place during the three days of the festival.

Cut of hair on tiles
|
Tonsure is the religious act of cutting or shaving one’s hair as a sacrifice to God.
The full head is shaved within Hinduism and is sold within the global hair trade. The model of that rite was used to lead the visitors through the exhibition.
It starts with a possibility to give collect and then lathed wood with hair trenses connecting them as they for a que that lead up to the icon triptych inspired from Catholicism. Instead of a virgin Mary my centre piece includes bowing heads and a painted people crowd.
The visitor becomes their own Gods in that way. This is a connections to going to a rock concert (that could be seen as a kind of religion or worship in Sweden) where showing that one belong to the group is very important. Like buying a band t-shirt, that were sold in the exhibition.

Koinophobia
”While you're in it, life seems epic. Fiery, tenuous, and unpredictable. But once you have some distance from it, everything seems to shrink, until it's almost out of focus. So you begin scanning your life looking for something interesting or beautiful. But all you see is ordinary people assembled in their tiny classrooms and workspaces, each of us moving around in little steps, like tokens on a game board”.
