“Memento Mori” is a contemporary continuation of the still life and vanitas tradition, where objects make the presence and absence of time visible. Whereas historical vanitas paintings froze time in paintings, I instead work materially and three-dimensionally where multiple layers of time exist simultaneously. This degree project is a work of reconciliation between myself and… Continue reading Emma Hansson

Placing something in a box can be seen as a funeral, or the creation of a small memorial place to visit from time to time. The things in a memory box lie quietly at rest. They are stuck in a kind of no-man’s-land, liminality embodied. I have interviewed people and asked them to show me… Continue reading Astrid Skagerström Lindau

“4 Elements: Reveries” is an exploration of the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. The project is influenced by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s thoughts on ‘rêverie’ – active daydreaming – as a creative method and state. Through reverie as method, I explore the associations that arise in the artist’s consciousness in relation to… Continue reading Ani Ellen Sarkisian Åkerman

My degree project emerges from a longer, gradual formation of symbols, where forms have developed unconsciously over time. A need to gather, structure and follow underlying orders drives the process, allowing recurring motifs and relationships to slowly take shape. These forms move through digital tools, where they are continuously reshaped and circulate. In this movement,… Continue reading Alexander Ljungberg

My project is about machine vision, sleepwalkers, white line fever. It haunts everywhere. I don’t know, I’m more and more interested in the gap, what’s in between. I imagine something incorporeal moving through an empty world, pursuing the memories of humanity. A blind eye, the landscapes blindingly white.

Take a step outside of yourself and tap into the shadow realm, let the dark surround you. They who linger in there mean no harm. The shadow arises in the meeting between light and darkness. In it, you can seek protection, but also get lost and forgotten. The shadow is a figure that will never… Continue reading Thyra Weiss

There are objects that do not demand attention. They belong to everyday life, resting within their contexts, in the home, close to the body. Their function is given; their form is familiar. They are self-evident and because of this they carry a possibility that is rarely noticed. “Within Reach: An Alternative Arsenal” takes as its… Continue reading Molly Börjlind

Three works. Three acts. Three faces of nature. They are leaning a bit in different directions. Sometimes they’re turned away, sometimes towards each other. They belong together, but not completely. The work deals with relationships between people and nature. Not as a story with a beginning and end, but rather as a constantly moving flow.… Continue reading Julia Schantz

There is a martyr sitting on the street corner where Knez Mihaila and Sremska cross. He has spread a blanket in front of him on the pavement and put his crutches against the wall; he is selling his military medals and Orthodox icons of saints he no longer believes in. My work revolves around themes… Continue reading Gösta Östergren

There is a certain comfort in wool, a sense of care. It carries the scent of straw, barn, warmth and body. The rich lanolin settles like a protective layer over the hands, nurturing. Prickly and itchy are unfair prejudices; all wool has its place. The wool that was once an extension of a body, the… Continue reading Fanny Stengårds & Elvira Staaf
