D.A.F.T. Related events & participants: THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL in Trollhättan

Fred Lindberg started THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL as a society and network of contemporary artists in London 2005. The thought behind these art events was to put people and ideas together rather than single pieces of art. To create a foundation for collaborations. In 1937 Hitler exhibited “Entartete Kunst”, 1962 came Fluxus events like “The Festival of Misfits” and today our Art is striving to exist in-between being singled out as a degenerate, or choosing to be a misfit.

In my work with the forest I reconnect to old myths and childhood memories. The specific place of most of my pictures are taken in a forest that I know well since I was a child. A forest and a place where I have played, built huts, hidden out when sad or angry. The forest is a place which I miss when I’m away. The forest is a place where I am alone but without feeling lonely. My work does also expanded outside the forest to deal with myths about other people and places. Both which I find very difficult and interesting.
