Center is the center and periphery is the periphery and never the twain shall meet.

Background
The installation "parallel" is displayed while the "dark pink" installation in the Art Academy is taking place. The sites are each other's opposites: center and periphery.

Dark pink: Academy of Fine Arts, center of town, elevated, important
Parallell: Västberga industrial area, outskirts, low, peripheral, ephemeral

The two places are like oil and water - they cant be mixed. The two installations try to combine the two by forming an emulsion, a double perspective.

Parallell - the site
The four screens are clogged with a white diffusion paper. In the middle window is a circle cut out so that you can look out. Through the circle you can see the landfill outside the window. The same landfill as shown in the Dark pink installation (at Academy of Fine Arts) in the form of photographs.
On the wall a sky blue cushion-like object painted with acrylic can be seen, a plaster head on a wooden console and a painting of a sky.
On the floor is black and white floor tiles laid out in a checkerboard pattern. On this floor a chair from the academy balance on its hind legs. On the chair is a yellowing cultural newspaper from -93 (at the time of the art exhibition two years old). From the ceiling hangs an additional plaster head.
