#394-97 U-Turn Pace (2021) Original Painting by Johan Söderström

128x168 cm (each panel 64x84 cm) | Filler, oak frames

I did this work by pacing a narrow circle over four panels. See a video of the whole performative production event on my Youtube channel. When installed, the circle is inverted. This work can be installed in multiple ways. The alternative has the title Small Circle Pace (Split).

Pace is a series of works consisting of two slowly paced tracks in wet filler. The process is repeated 99 times, reminiscent of the 99% of the Occupy movement, which refers to the vast majority without capital from ownership, sometimes defined as the proletariat or the working class. The fight against oppression can be waged with major decisive blows, as well as through many small but repeated steps. The latter is expressed by the tedious work of creating a path where there is none by walking it over and over again.
