Jag löste upp mig ur mina boots

1 November – 29 November 2025

Detriti Gallery is pleased to present Jag löste upp mig ur mina boots, where artists Kajsa Håkansson Bolve and Ellen Macke Alström meet in a sculptural dialogue based on the idea of Cadavre Exquis, the Surrealist technique of collective drawing in which several participants contribute to a single figure without seeing the previous sections.

Over the past year, the artists have worked on their pieces in succession, one begins, the other continues, until new shared hybrid works emerge. The process has been shaped by video and in-person meetings, sketches and collaborative exercises.

The exhibition explores questions of identity, artistic authorship, and how the role of the creator influences both the work and the process itself. By inviting additional co-artists into the project, the range of material encounters expands, and the final sculptures reflect the layers, continuations, and contributions of each participant.

The installation at Detriti Gallery invites visitors to step into an (inner) world in a state of dissolution or reconstruction.

Further artists join the cadavre exquis: Karin Lindgren, Johan Melander, Billy Höök, Sanna Lindholm, Petter Lindhagen, Torgny Alström.
