Alva Roselius is an artist and writer working with language and spatiality. Informed by architecture and theater and inspired by phenomenology, queer theory and political movements, her works are rooted in questions of power, normativity, and opacity.
Her practice combines monologue, music, props, and scenography.
Alva is educated at Konstfack in Sweden and DAI art praxis in the Netherlands. Besides her artistic practice she works as editor and writer at the Swedish anarchosyndicalist magazine Arbetaren.
The silvery embroidery is a shape, map or a non-animal skin. It carries references to craftsmanship and manual labor at the same time as it is almost alien. The work has been inspired by maps and topography as well as science fiction and queer abstraction.
