The first chapter of Ateljér Detriti features Gothenburg-based artist Hedvig Schroeder. This studio-residency starts with the aim of giving local artists the opportunity to use the gallery as a workspace, reflecting on curatorial methodologies as tools for thinking, making, and connecting with others.
Schroeder’s practice moves across media investigating themes of time, natural resources, and scientific phenomena. Collaboration and interdisciplinarity are central to her work, from co-running the mobile exhibition platform gallery Pirra to her current explorations of micro-landscapes within dead trees.
During her time at Detriti, she has focused on the word mulm, the biological material found in dead trees, which also translates to “detrito” in Italian. Over the summer, she visited so-called “mulm trees,” gathering drawings, images, and notes from their surroundings. Through figurative drawings and frottage sketches, she has sought to capture the silent, slow processes inside the trees, approaching mulm both as material and as metaphor for time, ecology, and interconnected life cycles.
