Sculpture in jesmonite and steel.
45 separate handmade body parts, mounted with Hoffman instruments.
In Tove Kjellmark’s latest practice, she has experimented with glitches in transformations between digital and organic; gaps in the experience when you move from one world to another, the changeability of time and how it shapes our perception of our own and others' bodies, the human and the non-human. She is not looking for the fixed and stable, but the actual interplay between the inner and the outer vision - not just her own and others but also the machines. This also allows her to highlight the fragmentations of our existence and the experience of our own bodies within the context of the digital and hyper-technological society we live in.
Inside is a balancing act consisting of 45 unique shapes molded in Jesmonite and then polished and reworked meticulously. The parts are mounted with Hoffman instruments (orthopedics). This unique sculpture took 1,5 years to accomplish.
It has been featured at Katarina Kyrka, Avesta Art, Galleri Erik Nordenhake, Bohusläns museum, Färgfabriken, and currently at Borås Museum of Art in Kjellmark's solo exhibition "When I Crack I Expand" (Dec 2023–April 2024).
