Description:
The standard floor plan of a Swedish apartment is painted at 1:1 scale on the floor of the gallery. Videos regarding the misinformation of news about the political upheaval between Muslims and “Swedes” are shown. The wall of the gallery is made available to visitors to describe the words, “I, We, They”. I organized discussions between cultural producers and the public on the realities of racism and feminist politics in contemporary Sweden as opposed to their accepted historical stances within Swedish society.
