October 2024 is a month of milestones for me, and I’m excited to invite you to experience two art projects that have been close to my heart and have taken two years to finalise. Sci-Fi Scenography: Aniara Premieres on October 18th in Malmö First, on October 18th, my scenography for Harry Martinson’s Aniara will premiere at Skånes Dansteatern in Malmö. This production, directed by Carl Knif (marking our 19th collaboration!), brings to life the epic journey of Aniara through the cosmos. Using four video projectors, we’ve created an immersive, ever-changing space where the projections respond to the dancers’ and actors movements, reflecting the human search for meaning in a vast, indifferent universe. If you’re into sci-fi and avant-garde theatre, this is something you won’t want to miss. You can get your tickets www.skanesdansteater.se/en/aniara. Kurkkio: A Neon Light art Installation Unveiling on October 24th in Rovaniemi
Just a few days later, on October 24th, I’ll be unveiling my new permanent neon light installation Kurkkio at the Korundi House of Culture in Rovaniemi. The word Kurkkio means "water drop" in the Sámi language, and this idea flows through the entire structure of the piece. Though stationary, the curved and zigzag neon patterns create the illusion of water in motion, tricking the brain into seeing continuous movement. It’s a playful interaction of light, perception, and nature—something that connects deeply with my Northern feels.
