In My Secret Life – Det Stora Vidunderliga

Abstract

This text should be seen as an experimental supplement to my Master Thesis Art Installation “In My Secret Life – Det Stora Vidunderliga” and aims to provide detailed and in-depth contextualization of any possible symbolism present in the piece. To provide such an extremely detailed written explanation of my work is an unprecedented occurrence in my art practice. It has always been my conviction that such an explanation is not only unnecessary but even counter productive for the experience of my artwork. The installation, being created within an Academic Masters program where the current discourse regarding the requirement of accompanying academic writing in artistic practice-based research, provided me with the opportunity to create such an explanatory text and test the validity of my theory.
