We dug in the earth, and…….
Vasa konsthall 2024

papiermaché, video. The video is made in collaboration with Linus Johansson and Andrea Lundgren.

The exhibition included works by Fanny Carinasdotter, Simon Gran Danielsson, Moa Ryman, Hannes Iversen, Michaela Frycklund, Mattias Olofsson, Maria K. Olsson, Helena Wikström and Gerd Aurell.

We moved downwards, to find what was hidden underground. What is it that stirs under earth, skin and consciousness?

The title of the exhibition is taken from the Norwegian author Tor Ulven’s Grave Goods from 1988. Like many other segments in the book, it is a fragment. The text starts with Ulven naming items that are buried underfoot: scraps of chicken, sheep legs, mussels, broken pieces of pottery, counterfeit sets of dice, a bag of copper coins, the skeleton of a guinea pig. All the while we wander around on top, unaware of all the former lives and memories that are concealed below our feet.
