KUNSKAP ÄR MAKT is a site-specific film installation set that brings to life the haunted remnants of a former carpentry classroom in a rural Swedish barn. It recreates a fictional student rebellion against a pedagogical system that enforces discipline and knowledge through ritualistic punishment. Drawing from the real historical use of the barn, local ghost stories, and Swedish folklore—particularly a deconstructed version of the Tomte fairy tale.

“Was there a hubristic mastery there? A life that is neither open nor hidden was achieved only through the openness of everything. Physics becomes witchcraft and rules the century. Astrology has a halo and builds a new kingdom. All networks are opened through each other's prophecies, and humans have become a universal attitude of life to speculate and transcend themselves. The road from hell to light was long and rough.”   (read more)

The two works, Found Objects and Perspective Table, consist of a framed digital print and a sculptural element.

The sculpture draws inspiration from anamorphic imagery, a visual technique revived during the Renaissance, which plays with perception and distortion. It features a horizontal metal print on a cube, displaying a series of 3D-rendered objects, distorted across the surface but visually reassembled through the reflection in a central cylindrical mirror. The same objects also appear in the accompanying framed image, where they lie scattered across a ground plane like fragments from a past event. (read more)

Bäverland is a site-specific research into the cultural presence of beavers in rural Sweden. The project seeks to reflect on topics seemingly alien to generalized understandings of the beaver’s life, such as labor, failure and anger management as an ironic way to point out the influence of scientific biases on popular culture representations of the natural world.

Jaakko Myyri

Jaakko Myyri’s two-channel video installation Mirror Index (7’26) explores how fabulation, finance, and lack of societal transparency can fabricate artificial realities.

Drawing from a series of public speeches by Swedish political and economic figures, Myyri uses machine learning tools to generate voice-cloned narrators—artificial speakers that reverberate real-world justifications for austerity, recession, and the shifting of burdens onto taxpayers and consumers. Touching on the Geymüller banking family’s decline in Sweden—Mirror Index portrays their former estate as a picturesque, ghost story-like backdrop. These digital narrators are layered with accounts of spectral phenomena said to haunt the manor according to locals, merging mythic and economic elements in its Mise-en-scène. (read more)

The sculptures belong to an ongoing process where I am interested in belief systems and how they change through time, drawing inspiration from religious imagery and historical artefacts. It is a process in which I am concerned with the tactility of materials and surfaces: as the shells of things (as the representation or synthesis of material, function, meaning, time), but also the systems in themselves, as things connected, or as representation of thought.

Figurations (1,2,3) - Walnut, gypsum, resin, pigment
