I´m mostly inspired by parking lots as sites that can be seen as non-places. I would like to focus on these non-places, their previous states and the story behind them.

You could say that the Nationalism movement had a vision of a utopian society that was free from impurities. The modern shopping mall is also a utopian vision of society, there is no dirt, no nature, its a “clean” place. As an artist I want to remain objective, by choosing these particular sites I want to create an experience for the visitor that enables them to be connected to the past and the present and to draw their own conclusions. | ||
