Hysterium Pinastri
Solo exhibition at Gallery Bokboden Feb. 2018
The text-part of the piece:
I do not reluctantly admit the causal relationship to this, but I seek reason in ordinary morbidity.
Parts are beginning to yellow
affected by frost
Time feeds it
Gray-black layers begin to grow
Favorable conditions generate the spinning of fine threads
They penetrate the interior
Spreading
Dampness is promising conditions
It matures
sprouts wherever possible
It seeks complete access
It has spread too far making cleansing impossible. Using unleased lime, I attempt to remove and collect the material.
Currently they fall off right away
Good parts are lost
The complicated organization
It wishes for a different host
Alternate attacks
They leave my shape
An empty shield
Incapable
Sculpture-installation: 4 x 2½ x 2 m. Sound/text: 9.40 min.
​
This installation contain a sculpture and a text that is recorded and played aloud in the installation-space. It is made of woodcut-graphic on thin rice-paper, fabric, latex and treads.
It is an abstract shape, created by the threads it is hanged in, the structure, and heaviness of the different fabric-use. The sculpture is a visual interpretation of the text and it adds a bodily element/experience to the piece.
The text is created with the use of a book about fungus-diseases on plants. The title ‘Hysterium Pinastri’ is the Latin name of a fungus disease, but it can also imply references and thoughts about ‘hysteria’: “exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement”.
