The Eye of the Mole and the Perpetual Motion

Central to this essay are fourteen poems and fourteen drawings. They formed part of the exhibition The Eye of the Mole and the Perpetual Motion, which was shown at Galleri Mejan in November 2021. The poems are meant to each lack a center, but together form a circle where the exhibition's sculptural works are at the center. Each poem includes a drawing that serves as a reference to the poem. The beginning of the essay follows the process that led to the exhibition. It describes a work process where the planning and the physical work took place in parallel and how the two parts influenced each other and shaped the exhibition. Between the materials I worked with and the intuitive work process, a connection is made to the blind spot in the field of vision, a place that is just outside one's consciousness but which is always present. The idea of ​​this place became a central part of the exhibition and the essay describes a working method for finding this place. Or at least reach as far as possible. Finally, the function of the poems is described and in what way the exhibition was installed. / The Eye of the Mole and the Perpetual Motion was my master exhibition and consisted of four sculptures made of scrap metal and textiles, fourteen poems and fourteen drawings.
