Burnout, 2019 

'Burnout' was an installation and exhibition at Kunsthal 44 Møen, Askeby, Denmark in the summer of 2019. The exhibition was curated by Julia Rodrigues.

The protagonists of this absurdist-comical sound installation, are a burnt-out worker bee from the Danish honey industry and a male bumblebee from Sweden. In a heated monologue, the worker bee describes the pressure involved in keeping up with a high-speed working life, which has resulted in burnout. After she is interrupted in her speech by a rowdy Swedish bumblebee, disagreements commence. The text touches on topics such as the industrialisation of agriculture and the mysterious bee death.

Voice actors are Lisa Lind Dunbar and David Wiberg, recording by Andrea Novel.

Heaven and Earth, 2018

'Heaven and Earth' was an installation with furniture, sculptures and sound first shown at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, DK in 2018 and later in 2018 at MARWAN in Amsterdam, NL.

 The protagonist of Heaven and Earth is a bitter tea-kettle, to be specific, the iconic chrome kettle ’9091’ designed by Richard Sapper in 1982.
