Info
Works by sculptor Berit Lindfeldt (b. 1946) were most recently shown in a retrospective exhibition called The edge of existence at Liljevalchs konsthall in 2014. Now she returns with works from later years in the halls of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
Berit Lindfeldt uses a variety of materials for her designs. This time, bronze, concrete and iron have given way to other materials such as discarded, worn-out masonite.
With Masonite, Berit Lindfeldt builds spaces from a personal environment she grew up in, an excavation that is ongoing and expanding. Clay, plaster and rubber waste are also used in the work of allowing cavities and voids in a broader sense to appear.
The book is included as an independent work in the exhibition. A home, a personal documentation of an apartment emptied of its contents.
