"And the whole world went into a pause"
It has been a year that we have been in suspended animation. Interrupted. Waiting.
In the frozen landscape of our time, we invite you to explore the energies that lie dormant within.
Where could they take us?

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
ANDRÉ BAPTISTA (b. 1987 Republic of South Africa) has Diplomas in both Electronic Music Production and Sound Synthesis, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Brennan Healing Sciences and is currently studying North American Shamanism and Yoga. Having a deep interest in both alternative medicine, music and physical practices, Andrés work is moved by the relationship and communication between the body and the mind, the manifest and the non-manifest, the conscious and the subconscious. André’s work focuses on the multi-dimensionality of the human experience through movement, video and sound further exploring these relationships.
MAJA BAKKEN is a Stockholm based artist, jewelry maker and performer. She holds a bachelor's degree in craft from Konstfack University. Driven by the fascination of collective behaviour her work often explores space in relation to the human body. Using performance as a research method, she often activates her pieces in a collaboration between her own body and the pieces that she makes.
TIM HØIBJERG (b. 1986, Kristiansand, Norway) holds a BFA from Oslo National Academy of the Arts and is currently studying an MFA at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. His practice situates itself in between the virtual and the physical, moving between digital software, animation and sculpture. Tim’s work questions perceptions of fiction and reality in a hyper-technological age, and explores the queer potentiality of futurism and transhumanism. In 2020, Tim was nominated for the acknowledged award Sparebanken Sør Kunstnerpris of which an exhibition followed at Sørlandet Kunstmuseum, Kristiansand, Norway in October.
TOVE MÖLLER (b. 1986, Laholm, Sweden) is currently studying an MFA at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Through sound, sculpture and installations, she wants to create opportunities for listening to the environment, raise questions about the relation between nature and society, and investigate more-than-human agency and kinship. Using queer methods, her artwork asks the audience to consider their local surroundings and reflect on the world in which we live.
ABOUT THE CURATORS
AGNÈS BIRO is a freelance curator and a Master student in Curating Arts at Stockholm University. While following a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art, she gained interest in challenging the relation between audiences and time through interruption. Her curatorial practice explores ways of manipulating spaces and scales that change people’s natural rhythm and flow and help punctuate their sense of reality.
SARAH RODRIGUES is a freelance curator and is currently pursuing the Curating Arts Master’s program at Stockholm University. With a background in Environmental Studies, Anthropology, and Philosophy, she is interested in exploring the concept of "liminality" in understanding the Self and the Environment.
