Annika von Hausswolff: Ich Bin Die Ecke Aller Räume

Magasin 3
Stockholm
Now through June 8


Contemporary arts organization Magasin 3 owns nearly all of the 50 photographs, collages, and sculptures in its retrospective show of photographer Annika von Hausswolff — a sign of the Swedish institution's remarkable fervor for this native daughter's work. Dating from 1992 until today, the works on display are linked by careful staging and magical-realist narratives. The oldest piece is from Back to Nature, von Hausswolff's celebrated, feminist-inflected photo series from the '90s, in which naked women lie face down in natural settings. In later photographs, she successfully animates mundane objects such as nylon stockings, plastic bags, chairs, and radiators by presenting them as players in surreal games. A new large-scale installation featuring a large photograph of a curtain carries the suspense from the gallery walls to the floor.
