Fruit of the Boom, Gussglashalle, September 2018, BerlinDen Schnee Lesen, sound installation, eight languages interpreting Morse poems, 50 min
The private is over here, the public over there, and there’s a realm in the middle. When the interioris forced onto the exterior, when the private must exert itself in the public space to secure its ownexistence. The private is political! These individual boundary crossings are reflected in LinnéaSjöberg’s sculptures The Inward Dance: personal articles of daily clothing and objects seep outfrom their leathery membranes. The private is shown but not exhibited or relinquished unguarded tothe voyeuristic eye of the viewer. In her sound installation Den Schnee lesen [Reading the Snow]she shares childhood memories, albeit coded as unfamiliar sounds that do not quite coalesce intomeaning. Her father translates the falling snow, the rhythm and form of the individual snowflakes, into Morse code. The snow speaks to us, in different voices and languages. These protective spacesare needed to claim a public space for itself as something communally felt and experienced./ Denise Moser & Luise Pilz
