Links:
b. 1980, Örebro, Sweden… is a Swedish artist with a master’s degree in fine arts from Umeå Academy of Fine Arts. Her works are often based on site-specific performative actions which then turn into temporary installations – remnants of human activity. The work can be seen as futile attempts to patch up a crumbling world by salvaging the discarded material shards that are the treasures of the urban collector, and by using them in new ways revitalize and give them context. Key words are care and concern for places and remains, to create meaning and relationship in the seemingly detached and meaningless.
