Hanna Abrahamsson, Band (2021) and text “Makt och roller – att arbeta utifrån det självbiografiska som konstnärlig metod”

Band consists of three video works that function together to explore questions surrounding power relations and dependency in a parent-child relationship with a focus on the relationship between mother and daughter. The three works use physical objects and the autobiographical as a way of making power visible as an involuntary activity and something that is moved and replaced over time. Band reveals an ambivalence and an interaction between the attentive and the violent.
