The light installation by the Swedish artist Anna Berglind documents the tension between space, oblivion and cultural memory. Photographic images, key part of the video installation, manifesting themselves on the water surface, functions as the connection between artists past and present. As such it has a special meaning for her and for her subjective “memory landscape”, as a portrait of her late relative is shown as a momentary illusion on the wavy water surface.

 

ANNA BERGLIND is a conceptual artist, born in Sweden where she lives and works. She’s been creating projects that include visual and performative elements, exploring the relations and tensions between different phenomena, like trauma, memory and oblivion, since the late nineties. She’s also the author of several light installations where the main emphasis is on darkness as an absence of light, and which challenge the established demarcations between space, perception and social conventions. She’s been lecturing at the Institute for social change ISAK at the University of Linköping in Sweden since 2001.
