things to forget

installation, göteborgs konsthall, april 2008

the piece things to forget consisted of four site specific incursions based on objects placed in different spaces in the art hall. objects typically associated with public spaces were used as props to stage scenes based on existing interior details. the objects were placed as natural parts of the space. what is usually seen as unimportant details in the rooms were intensified while the original functions of the objects were either missing or distorted.
