Ylva Snöfrid
Artist
01.10.2024 – 28.10.2024
“Earlier Ylva lived in what seemed to be the real world, while Snöfrid lived behind the mirrors, in the so-called mirror world, (a world which is often described as less than real). Snöfrid has been there since Ylvaâs childhood, acting as her mirror twin. Later, she became a part of Ylvaâs âartâ (âartâ as per what âartistsâ do). For many years, Ylva brought Snöfrid into the world through rituals and objects, again and again and again⊠Until they were finally fused into one â Ylva Snöfrid.”
“I am doing a solo show at Institut suĂ©dois and a site specific performance ritual, the theme is based on a work I have been doing for the last years about Cosmos and Vanitas in Paris I will show 24 paintings within that theme and a book Codex Cosmos and Vanitas and make rituals and dialogues with the audience.”
