PROJECT 1
ETUDES/Materialundersökningar 

A collaborative work between Ulli Strehl and myself where we look at the concepts of materiality, human interaction and our sensary perceptions as an investigation of the potential limitations of Artificial Intelligence.   
As a creative duo, our working method is to use tactile objects and materials in an intuitive, exploratory, and playful way, where we utilise the photograpic processes and its impact on the momentarily and unique situation produced.

Our project Etudes/Material Studies was taken shape over approximately 5 years, and in May 2024 we presented the project in a collective manner by bringing together the investigations we have made so far in a collected exhibition format, displayed at Formcenter Väst, Gothenburg.

PROJECT  2

Centrepiece 1

An extension of Materialundersökningar

We have during one year been exhausting a centrepiece origianally made for and used at a dinner party in November 2024. We have allowed the piece to play out in various contexts and in a multitude of different photographic processes with the aim of eventually growing tired of representing the piece. We arrived at a small exhibition of our one year research in October 2025 as part of BIBCA extended curriculum; part of the Gothenburg Art Biannale 2025.
