instruments of Uprising
These objects are replicas of props used by demonstrators around the world between 2019-2023. The objects in the series are named after reliably recorded places and dates of use in a protest situation. The series is updated with objects that are used in acts of rebellion at the time. In this way the series adapts and grows with new forms of protest. The material used to make the replicas is safety glass collected from the streets of Gothenburg. Broken and crushed safety glass is produced in large quantities in Gothenburg, where bus stops and other public structures are repeatedly damaged.
