The installation brings together elements from my previous works while turning toward the theme of family lore — something that both connects and destabilizes. It is rooted in a real situation: during a vacation in Stockholm, an unexpected conflict with an uncle resulted in my forced departure from the house.
This event becomes a point of departure for reflecting on fragile family relationships and imagining how the situation might have unfolded differently. The narrative is structured as a three-part composition resembling a film script. Its autofictional layer creates distance, allowing me to observe myself from a third-person perspective.
The language of the work draws on internet aesthetics, for example irony, shortcuts, and meta-communication, leaving space for omissions and ambiguity. A restrained visual scheme contrasts with the emotional intensity of the story, while slight shifts in scale introduce tension into the space.
Objects function as witnesses: a media player and a watch extend the narrative through moving image and fragmented memory. The installation oscillates between document and fiction, raising the question of whether a “happy ending” can exist within this story at all.
