The show "office" in iaspis studio, stockholm

The installation was shown at the International Artist
Studio Program in Sweden (IASPIS). The location of IASPIS, next to the Swedish parliament and other powerful institutions in the heart of Stockholm, created the framework of the piece.

The Office seems to have been invaded by a whirlwind; a playful comment to the area where important governmental decisions are made.

Entering the small office the spectator gets the notion of a room totally invaded by an unseen force. Office supplies such as papers and folders, fly around and escape through the window. The state of motion is frozen, as if the earth stopped spinning for a moment. The only object that moves is a slowly rotating globe, indicating a possible launch of the whirlwind.
