sad sour cucumber platter handle 
ongoing project of collective sculpture where I collect non-refundable cans from the openings at our artist-run exhibition space Alta Art Space in Malmö. I melt the material into structures with pickles and patterns from our neighbours catering kitchen’s plastic crates. The exhibition visitors each contribute a drop of aluminum to these social sculptures if they have a drink.

Cementa & Toyota

plastic and bricks recovered from the industrial harbor of Malmö. The bricks originate from buildings demolished in this old central neighborhood during 1950’s – 60’s. 
A site-specific sculpture for the exhibition Reyhani, Sumari, Wallin organized by plattform KcSyd at KonstfrĂ€mjandet SkĂ„ne, Malmö, Sweden 2020  

The sisters Cementa & Toyota are skeptically reviewing their surroundings while resting on brick pedestals. These bricks were once buildings of the old central Malmö but got demolished in the 1960’s and became landfill material for the industrial harbor of the city. Now the bricks return to their original neighborhood, carrying with them a new history about a site they’ve constructed for the past 60 years.

Thank you all for coming to the exhibition openings at our artist-run gallery Alta Art Space and contributing one drop of aluminum to these social sculptures. I’ve been collecting the no refund drink cans and melting the material into these structures with sour cucumbers.
