I invited the three artists to Helsinki to exhibit together under the title “Sedan reste jag mig”, a Swedish word play being understood as “Then I rose up”, but the word reste also means "traveled".
After the pandemic, the meaning of movement seemed to have shifted. I invited the artists by asking: What does it mean to rise up, to move your body, to travel, where is your home, where are you going?
