About the Exhibition
Every year, on returning to her summer home on Öland, the artist Annika Liljedahl is met by the familiar sight of insects that have died since they closed the cottage for the winter season. The insects lie trapped between window panes, in corners and under furniture, and usually make a pile in the dustpan. Over the years, these creatures have awakened Liljedahl's curiosity: their infinite variations, their activities, and their resourceful fight for survival and existence. Insects thus became the starting point for Nätspinnare (2019).
In art, Liljedahl finds ways to approach the natural cycle of existence. Life, from origin, energy transformation, growing power and regeneration to mortality, is present in her works. Whether they concern humanity or nature's cycles. Before us, we witness metamorphoses of insects, animals or ambiguous forms in constant flux.
In this exhibition, visitors encounter a yet undiscovered species. The hum of insects in motion fills the space, originating from a sound piece composed by Lo Kristenson. Together, the installation and the music create an immersive and captivating experience – a sensation of being enveloped by the work itself.
