In the artistbook Kända och Okända Kroppars Utbredning (Known and Unknown Bodies Extension) I work with three deceased relatives as representatives of the Other. What is the relation with people who no longer exists? Can you talk about interaction? I introduce them in my work by retelling memories and dreams in relation to them. It is my language, my choice of words, my stories. This means that the project has a form of narrative structure as structural elements.
Who were they, who are they? Herein lies a shift that is substantial in my work and that is deeply linked to the unique relationship between people: the change from who we were and who we are. By telling memories, the mapping of my family reveals my image of them and ultimately reveals myself.
