När myren talar
Upcoming exhibition at Medborgarhuset in Korpilombolo 10-31/7 2021.
During 2019-2021 Ida Isak Westerberg and I had an ongoing collaboration within the framework of Galleri Systers project SamArtBete.
We examined the bog as a place, idea and its analogy with queer rooms. The bog has throughout history been described as difficult to access, difficult to define and areas which at times have been dangerous to stay in. Areas that have attracted and seduced. With common methods, we explored the bog's' layers, qualities and biological processes, and investigated how these can function as an additional partner in our work.

Påminnelse
Reminder
Video installation, 2015
Three pair of actresses are doing a mirroring exercise. One in each pair starts talking about a personal memory which she feels unsure of, whilst the other tries to mimic during the exact same time. In between the scenes they are talking freely.
Featuring: Anna Belstock, Varja Berg, Hanna Widgren, Juli Apponen, Sabina Zupanc, Amanda Krüger

Photographic series, 2014
Exhibited in Hungry Eyes, Galleri Platform, 2014.
A photographic series consisting of three images. The originial portraits are taken from front pages of a german lesbian magazine published between 1926-1930.
I re-photographed the portraits and used a mirror to add the reflection from the sun on their eyes.

I asked the actors to tell the same line, five times over. I looked at the actors through the camera while I was directing them.
The line is taken from the movie Persona by Ingmar Bergman

Bibi, Edie, Jean
Video installation, 2012
In Bibi, Edie, Jean I mimic scenes from three feature movies: Bibi Andersson in Persona, Edie Sedgwijk in Poor Little Rich Girl and Jean Seberg in À bout de souffle.
I was interested in a certain notion of femininity and wanted to investigate how the act of imitation could be a tool for expanding this notion.
