Liquid Crystal Effects

Liquid Crystals serve as both material, medium and method – the critical lens through which I investigated the former Långban mining and cultural village in Eastern Värmland in Sweden. Liquid crystals (used in LCD TV, computer and mobile screens) are forming the symbolic and material base in our common digital Technosphere. The mine's water-filled ores, emptied of minerals, are inaugurated as an underwater exhibition of Långban, literally enacting the unstable relations between form and formless, and back again to form.
