With an interest for the way two languages blend while describing a memory, Liv Strand creates a phonetic osmosis of american and broken swedish. The constant exchange between the two of them - one language fluent while the other stops and hesitates drags attention to how the languages sound, rather than what is told. In this way the storyline becomes secondary.

Liv Strand is an artist living and working in Stockholm, Sweden. She is mainly working with fragile and mobile sculptures, often with mechanical elements that make some kind of rattling sound. The sculptures are not made with an ekvilibristic attitude, rather cheap or found material joint together in a simple way, but nevertheless evoking humorstic and poetic notions.
