BRUKSBESTIGARNA

2013

An artistic residence by me and fellow actress Malou Zilliacus arranged in collaboration with the artist network Not Quite in a former papermill inFengersfors, Sweden. A site specific exploration of approaching, invading and naming spaces and places. Playing with and problematizing  the notion of urban colonialisation of rural ”abandoned” areas. The exotification of the authentic, the fascination and the urge to own, domesticate and commodoficate the seemingly untouched.  The work resulted in a short movie based on the location and extracts from Inger Christensens poem Det and a performance taking place in an overgrown space in the factory including, amongst other things, five forged gates, paper snow and an auction of souvenir objects.
