”Choropēdáō”, video, 2024, 23 min.
The title of the video,”Choropēdáō”, is a romanization of the Greek word χοροπηδάω, close to the Swedish hoppsa. It names the movement somewhere between walking and running that children often make when they are happy — a word that exists in some languages and not in others.
The video begins with death masks and life masks and ends with a wax face made as a votive offering (ex-voto). It reveals how the artist, whose visual language passes through sculpture and especially mould-making, speaks through sculpture about "what is hidden," "what does not appear on the surface," and "what is believed," drawing on what is shared across languages and religions.
Following the approximately 20-minute screening, the artist will be in conversation with Magnus Bärtås about how materiality and medium carry what she wants to say.
