Direktsändning från simbassängen
Direktsändning från simbassängen (Live from the swimming pool) was created to capture the atmosphere of the local community bath Aspuddsbadet, as a contribution to the debate against its closing down. The bath house has been occupied since its official close down in the summer of 2009. The exhibition was planned to take place in the swimming pool of the bath, but due to police breaking the occupation the exhibition moved to a nearby gallery. The work was shown the day before the bath was sadly torn down, as part of a group exhibition with seven works all relating to the bathhouse, both as architecture and as a place for meeting.
Together with Loui Kuhlau, we created a live video screening of a miniature swimming pool in two parts. The first part in the gallery space is two monitors showing a cut of a swimming pool. The second part is the water filled miniature pool, located in a nearby room, where visitors can take their hand for a swim to the delight of the visitors in the gallery space.
