Anna Pehrsson
Departing from a thorough research into the prerequesites of movement from a geological
and ecological perspective, my work seeks to articulate environments where bodies,
objects and things coincide into place. Between evanescence and permanence, I explore
textures, volumes and vibrations through dancing, writing, drawing and stonecarving in
order to create new imaginaries. Where push meets pull, movement as transformation –
with its temporality and inner logics intact -expands into an energetically driven mass,
opening up towards a poetic of coexistance, an other and elsewhere.
