Josefin Selander works with textiles, sculpture, painting and drawing. She draws inspiration from sci-fi, visions of the future, historical fiction, and her own memories and impressions of places. In the exhibition, she shows Scen för ett skådespel, an installation of drawings, sculptures in clay and wood, and a monumental sculptural wall.
The installation tells the story of a fictional landscape populated by various types of beings. Perhaps the landscape is on another planet or in another time, or in the here and now but invisible to the human eye. By allowing different layers of time to exist side by side, the artist constructs a place where the present, the past and the future coexist in a poetic sliding state. Time appears distorted, and the audience is invited into parallel narratives and events, where every detail can be the key to another reality.
