Texts & reviews
“In a large installation, which must have required significant interventions in the gallery wall, a lightning-like crack becomes an almost full-scale entrance to what Rilke called the wondrous mine of souls, a suspension of the boundary between art and space.”
— Nils Forsberg, Dagens Nyheter 2024
