Thinking about Under Skin, 2019

Under Skin unfolded across the checkered floor of the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, where the grid became both stage and system, a field of lines mapping order, strategy, and control. Bull-shaped figures referencing Bamana boli objects gathered as a coalition within this architectural diagram, invoking biopower, collective force, and the slippage between agency and orchestration. Extending into scarred paper bodies and archival collages, the installation examined how power inscribes itself onto skin, space, and social form.
