Tomrummet som plötsligt är där...Annars så kopierat, bara kulissen utbytt (Suddenly an empty space.. Only the backdrops have been changed), oil and pigment on linen, 61 x 46 cm -
I made this installation especially for the show Swissart Award. It consisted of three paintings shown on walls painted in black, two sculptures in scale 1:1 together with a text inspired from the movie Last Year in Marienbad written on the wall and a fourth painting.
Yet, they were those walls surrounding me,
united, smooth, dark-colored
Yet, they were those walls and the silence (pause)
Empty galleries, stairs, paintings in dark colors,
mirrors
False doors, false columns, false outputs
...And the gardens as anything else, were deserted (silence)
