Since 2012, I have developed and used an interactive research and collection method to explore, document and work with physical spaces and events.

 

Läsning : Plats ("Reading/Scanning : Place/Space)

was an exploratory process through which I further developed my method into a format that could be carried out as an artist-led encounter/workshop,

open to public participation and co-creation.

 

By letting the audience and people passing by engaging with the method themselves – following

an introduction and alongside me – the audience

is invited to discover a place and an artistic practice in a different way, while also gaining agency in the creative process and becoming part of a

collective performative work.

 

We worked with the cemetery as an urban site:

a space of controlled nature, a home for animals,

an intersection of generations, and a place to grieve, jog, or eat your lunch sandwich. A site shaped by norms, and imbued with living history.

 

The events were taking place at S:t Pauli mellersta kyrkogård, Malmö, with the support of Region Skåne.
