In Motion

Performing Pictures at Sergels torg as part of the exhibition ”Motion” arranged by SEART.

Many Mes of Me marks the (current) endpoint of a series of works spanning more than 15 years where we have documented our children growing up. From early childhood in the multichannel video installation Kids on the slide (2005-06), through the brief moment of weightlessness, naivety, carelessness and hope in adolescence in Offspring Taking Off (2010) to young adulthood. The connecting thread of all of these works is the dialectics of familiarity and individuality, an homage to a set of Rousseauian beliefs in non-possessive parenting – imprinted on the artists themselves due to their upbringing in the 70s.
