Frön (Seeds) is an exhibition that, through film and sculpture, links organic decay with the erosion of political and moral ideals. The questions it asks are: what remains when something decomposes and disappears, when something is dismantled or defunded? Which relationships are at stake, and whose absence shines the brightest?

The poetic short film Semillas follows two people in southern Mexico: a young man training to become an ethnobotanist in order to safeguard his village’s stories, and a woman working in human rights, whose work is threatened by budget cuts as a direct result of Sweden’s shifting stance on development aid and humanitarian assistance. The sculptures, in turn, find their counterparts in plants and trees in our immediate surroundings: those that are personally significant to the artist, the disease-stricken elms, and the plants that emerge in step with our changing climate.

Together, the works form a score for disappearances and transformations.

My Sjöberg

My Sjöberg is a Swedish artist working between Mexico City and Sweden. She works with sculpture and film, using plants as material, agents, and protagonists.

With a bare aesthetic her works move between the natural and the artificial, between structure and disorder. She studied at Malmö Art Academy and Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.
