Alva Roselius is an artist and scenographer working with language and spatiality. Informed by architecture and theater and inspired by phenomenology, queer theory and political movements, her works revolve around power, desire and normality.
They circle around an ambivalent longing for alternatives, resistance and closeness. But also a longing for respite, to not have to resist. Alva is educated at Konstfack in Stockholm and UMPRUM in Prague. Besides her artistic practice she writes for Flamman and Arbetaren.
A text based installation consisting of eight embroideries made with silver threads on semi transparent, white fabric. The texts are a combination of things I overheard on buses, read in newspapers and wrote myself. They all revolve around resistance, closeness, longing and resignation.
