Atlas of voids

Space is substance.

The emptiness of space, the silence which gives the form is fundamental in

every aspect in our lives. The space between edges, between the beginning

and the end, filled with nothing but energy.

It is the silence opposed to sound, the lack, the momentary pause.

A void full of potential to be filled.

Project description

‚Atlas of voids‘ is an investigation of the emptiness employing the tools

of philosophy and science. The work explores the void as a sensor.

A sensor of the change of light, the change of smell, the change of the

perception of space. It arises from the nothingness between things related,

between thoughts and feelings and the space that occurs full of darkness.

A visual poem exploring the void.

The works acts as an immersive voyage into the concepts of becoming and

interconnectivity by examine, mapping and recreate different layers of reality.

It is a question about the way things live in space, their incoherence and

imperfection and how the invisible space is transformed with imagination.

To look at the void, to stare at darkness comes with a very strong feeling.

An uncomfortable, but also familiar feeling, we all know about ourselves.

Feeling the void as the moment, when it isn´t a hole but a space full of what

wasn´t there, I hope to enhance the void to the audience.

There is a profound connection between the nothingness we´re originated from

and the infinity we´re surrounded by and I try to open that moment of change.

Difficult to explain, but existencial to experience.

Landskrona Residency

Inspired by the text `Gravity and Grace by Simone Weill I want to explore gravity as a level of the soul.

I would love to get the opportunity to have time and space to research and create a new archive full of caves, water(falls), mineral sculptural bodies which represent a giant mass of time. Digging real and imaginary holes as poetic exploration of the concept of matter, knowing the most interesting part of the hole is the edge.

Starting point could be the transposition in nature, the everlasting cycles from the hole to the cave, discovering Björkliden and their archives.

Please find the image_20 as a first image of the emerging project.
