THE CURATED ONLINE MARKET OF ART 🇸🇪
ABOUT THE ARTIST
"FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I have been fascinated by how people mirror one another and react to their surroundings. In the project Dogwalk, there is an investigative theme of identity where the images display a variety of staged acts.
I explore fashion by focusing on norms, expressions and how we present ourselves in an ever-changing world that influences us—the eternal time. Years, minutes, and seconds force themselves upon us and remind us of our existence. When it comes to fashion, the present moment is outdated; in contemporary art, it is alive and in photographs, it is the past.
Time is continuously evolving and transforming. Clothes are dead, but when they are used to clad a body, they immediately come to life, and the performance can begin. If the whole world is a theatre, we move around the stage and control our audience with masked games and disguises. Nevertheless, what is the most important, the subject’s intention or the beholder’s interpretation?
In several pictures, I have dressed myself, my partner and our two teenagers in masks, either one’s own face or one of the other family members. The physical mask becomes a shield to play behind, almost like simultaneously being on the stage and backstage. Dogwalk is a concept discussing mind and body, nature and culture. Internal values against external qualities. Ritual experiments where location, color, surface and material want to tell a joint story".
