		August 21, 2020: Guldkant på tillvaron (idiomatic expression in Swedish that can be translated as ’silver lining on existence’). From the square, an inconsiderable grey concrete staircase leads up to Rågsveds-vägen. Here, people run to catch the bus to work and on the way they pass Sweden's oldest preserved graffiti painting. The stairs are also the entrance to the youth centre, where the punk band Ebba Grön had their first gig in 1978. Many today middle-aged Stockholmers remember their first teenage disco at the youth centre in the 80s and 90s. In recent years, several young rappers from Rågsved have been successful by telling their stories in musical form. After a spring and summer with a pandemic crisis, social isolation and financial difficulties, without parties or dancing, it's time for some glamour! The public piece Guldkant på tillvaron is an attempt to bring some happiness into everyday life. The work was commissioned by Stockholm Art Council, curated by Frida Cornell.

		Three-dimensional life is the complex physical reality where we live, work, hug each other, eat food, miss the bus, get sick, cheated on, obese, feel unseen and get depressed. The two-dimensional life is the exciting, beautiful, dramatic, entertaining, empathetic and flat world of pictures, tv-series and computer games. In two-dimensionality everything is much easier, and we choose to spend more and more time there.What happens when the boundaries between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional worlds are erased? When everyone uses filters to look better and just post about their successes, but not setbacks? When you can marry your beloved animé character in a VR game? When you can rent a partner who is always cute, kind and happy? In the video installation Life in 2.5 dimensions people who work with renting out their feelings tell their stories. These people, sakura workers, hostesses or rentals, support themselves by acting as family members, partners, parents or friends in our ordinary physical reality. We also hear researchers on emotional sociology and digital pop culture analyze a society where an increasing proportion of community and belonging can be purchased in the form of performative, aesthetic and emotional service work. The 77 minutes video piece reflects on how the increased degree of representation and performativity, both professionally and socially, is associated with the development of global experience capitalism and how the escalating consumption of computer games and social media affects our relationships and emotional life.

Hopefully it will be more obvious during the summer when I connect these analyzes to my interviews with Japanese workers who perform rather extreme forms of emotional, performative, aesthetic and in some ways erotically charged labour, and to how this is related to the development of global capitalism, precarity, image-based media and changing of gender roles during the latest two decades.

		April 2-8, 2018: In Finland this week filming traditional Karelian lamenters for my project on emotional labour, Life in 2.5 dimensions. Pirkko, 80, here performs a lamenting song for an organisation of elderly war children, about the sorrow following being sent away from home during WWII. It was women who in Nordic pagan society knew how to express the sorrows of passage rites such as marriage and death. Lamenting lived on in the eastern Finnish landscape of Karelen because the orthodox Russian church was more tolerant towards pagan customs than western Protestants. Karelian girls where taught how to express grief, so during hard times, they could go to the woods and cry-sing out their sorrows, and then come back relieved. Today’s outsourcing of emotional labour through paid services has crushed the community bonds and traditional functions such as lamenters, developed during thousands of years.

		November 1, 2017: Jyokanji buddhist temple in Minowa, northern Tokyo, was founded in 1655. It is situated just outside the walls of Shin Yoshiwara, the red light districts of old Edo. The beauty of the young women forced to sell their bodies there were often portrayed in wood carvings by the male artists of the time. But when they passed away, no one wanted to pay for their funeral, so their bodies were thrown outside the gates of the temple at night. 25’000 women were buried here. This sculpture of an anonymous geisha playing her shamisen reminds us of the precarity of women working in insecure jobs in various entertainment industries like aidoru, meido café, kyabakura, hostess and the whole grey-scale of selling femininity, but also of the general conditions for women's lives around the world. When young, beautiful and less sure of ourselves we are wanted by men, and exploited by capitalist society. But when we grow old, wise, experienced, sure of ourselves, we are not as attractive to the same patriarchal system. To me this sculpture expresses the tragedy of life under these conditions.

		Still from video piece Feminism and weapons on export: Militarism requires a thinking where there are protectors and those who need to be protected.
		Still from video piece Feminism and weapons on export: Stories related to gender are a common way of justifying war. When the US attacked Afghanistan in 2001, it was said that the aim was to save women from oppression and burqas, although it was really about revenge. Feminist researchers draw parallels to the ancient greek myth of the beautiful Helen, whose abduction was used as a pretext for the Trojan war.
		Summer 2017: Intense editing on the video piece Feminism and weapons on export: Masculinization VS feminization: When Swedish Commander in Chief in 2014 confirmed that a submarine had violated Swedish waters, Russia's Deputy Prime Minister called Swedish military "unmanly". Background image from stranded Soviet submarine outside southern Swedish east coast in 1981.
		July, 2017: On this beach, at the southern point of the island of Gotland, in the Baltic sea between Russia and Sweden, I spent the first 15 summers of my life. These years, between 1975 and 1990, were also the last years of the Cold War. As a child I played among these World War II bunkers, collecting empty vodka bottles thrown overboard from military ships patrolling the Baltic sea. Soviet broadcast could be overheard on FM radio, the loud noise from rehearsing Viggen fighter planes flying low over the beach made the grown-ups grave and silent. Stories were told of suspicious vans parked close to fenced military protection areas, surely filled with Russian spies listening in to secret communication. When picking berries in the woods, I suddenly stood face to face with an armed soldier. Text excerpt from work in progress essay film on militarism, weapons export and Sweden's feminist foreign policy, part of The Legacy Complex, by the 0s+1s Collective.
		July 8, 2017: 0s+1s Collective is taking part in Work Hard! Play Hard! Transmission festival in Minsk, Belarus."This year WH!PH! gives a level look at processes, taking place on multiple speeds, at their networking, overlapping and breakdowns; to learn about emotional labour and liquidity of our desires; to problematize the tendency of services to become a mega-platform that monopolises our time; to discuss the possibilities of wide cooperation around actual economical questions (“It’s the Political Economy, Stupid”); to meet with human and non-human agents; to look at the backside of start-up culture; to give pleasure a political meaning; to dive into inhuman high-speed flows and to slow down artificially. Or not to do so. To collectivize the stress and to make it an instrument for solidarity." More nfo on: WH!PH!
		May 2017: Developing my piece Feminism and weapons on export from the text version in The Legacy Complex exhibition at Gotlands Konstmuseum to video version for our next show at Fabrica de Arte Cubano in Havana, Cuba this autumn. The work deals with the Swedish Feminist Foreign Policy, which is being conducted at the same time as the Swedish defence is escalated and the arms export continues. I link this contemporary situation to the masculinization of popular culture in Hollywood cinema during the Cold War, to how gendering in general is relating to militarism, and to my own personal memories of living in militarised southern Gotland between the years 1975-1990.
