Barnen leker utanför (The children playing outside)
2 -channel video installation, HD video, 03: 56 min loop, 2021

I started filming children playing outside the window. When I watch the video I find it unpleasant, but I don ́t really know why? Maybe it’s the camera's position from above that creates an overview where everyday life and the children get stuck in an almost painterly and abstract form. Also the ambivalent feelings between monitoring and freedom are close to each other in the video. The children and the playing as our metaphor for freedom and safety and the camera as a symbol of the opposite; power and monitoring.
