camilla Palm
Through drawing, painting, happenings, objects and the writing of icons Camilla Palm investigate the relationsships between center and periphery, object and subject, form and content, author and reciever. Using repetition, copying and a mimetic language in order to reflect and broaden the understanding of memory and history, she sheds light on the boundaries between language and social, political and private identities. She introduces an alternative reading in situations where this might not already be present. The glitches, dislocations and unexpected linkages that arise harbor an intention to identify new perspectives and meanings.
