Exhibited at Konsthall C, Hökarängen, Stockholm

Guide brings the attentive and curious listener on a walk following a logic of its own.

Guide is a version built as a prototype for a larger piece that can be placed in a public space, indoors or outdoors. Guide consist of two sound boxes that tries to appeal to people by a beautiful melody. The volume of the melody shifts along with how a person moves and getting close enough the melody will silence and start to play from the other sound box, inviting the audience to get lost in an unplanned stroll. More boxes could be added.
Guide is programmed by Erik Sjödin.

The music is conducted by Tora Thorslund and is the first part of the piece Quattro Pezzi for solo trumpet by Giacinto Scelsi.

At the exhibition Konsthall SE (se translates; to see) a number of artists was invited to make suggestions for public art for visually handicapped people.

Ett ljud hörs.

Du hör ett ljud.

Det är en vacker melodi.

Du blir nyfiken på var melodin spelas.

Ljudet leder dig, du följer.

Du närmar dig ljudet, det ökar.

Då flyttas platsen som ljudet kommer ifrån.

Det låter lägre bort nu.

Det är en vacker melodi.

Du går ditåt.

Nu byts asfalten under dina fötter mot gräs.

Det är en vacker melodi.

Du vandrar med melodin.

Public commission made for Eberg childrens nursery center in Trondheim, Norway

Up the stairs / Opp trappen consists of a drawing of stairs and circles made of a chain of silicone with encapsulated LEDs. The light drawing is inscribed in the wooden floor and on to the facade by the entrance.

The piece has 5 different light programs which control speed, intensity of light and what part of the drawing that is being lit. The different programs vary from small variations in intensity to those where the light jumps from one part of the drawing to another. The staff at the nursery center control the programs via a set of buttons placed inside.

Permanent video installation in the waiting room by the physiotherapy, at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm

Pipeline is a video piece that brings the viewer on an uncharted journey through a pneumatic pipeline system. This pneumatic pipeline system runs by more than ten kilometers through the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm. My basic interest was to be able to see the unseen, the speed and way of the transports in such an ancient technical system. To view the idea of moving. A capsule was modified to transport the video camera in order to capture the movement and sound of the capsule, as it navigates through the system. View a video-clip from inside the pneumatic pipeline.

In the waiting room by the physiotherapy two monitors are running both a 15 minutes long version of the journey inside the pneumatic pipeline and a 2 minutes clip of birds that juggle with branches from a BBC nature documentary. Small changes was made to the wall color making shadows and a spatial place for the monitors to share with the patients.

Thanks to Micke Höglund, Hanter Ingenjörsteknik. And to the AKTÅ-group at Stockholms Läns Landstings kulturförvaltning for inviting me to work at Karolinska University Hospital.

A publication about art concerning the technical installation of the pneumatic pipelines is made by Stockholms Läns Landstings kulturförvaltning.
