This exhibition is the result of the recorded process of six artists from Stockholm (Sweden) and Lima (Peru) working respectively on the theme of "danger" each one with different techniques and approaches. The image we have about other groups of people outside our own context is usually filled with filters and stereotypes that keep us protected on the other side of the glass / monitor. When facing a situation of imminent or tangible danger, a human being, vulnerable and helpless, gets rid of social and cultural boundaries and responds similarly even under divergent circumstances.
Danger, as the intimate and personal fear of losing control as well as potential for creativity is expressed in the detailed artisan processing of the jewels of Lisa Björke; versus the schematic nature of Claudia Perez´s painting that proposes danger as the stimulant for a “free fall” where fear becomes a rugged but systematic abandonment. Angelica Chavez explores, with a series of intervened photos, the crushing monster of everyday life that stalks our individuality, our goals; in contrast, the ritual vase in glass lined with silver sheets of Nina Westman explores the safety and trust in a heavenly or political system, maybe distant and gloomy but-with great faith-infallible. The vivid against the intangible danger. The connectivity of which we depend for existence and also the fragile mediums that support it are explored by the virtual piece of Paola Torres and her use of technical equipment to (over)stimulate human tendencies and the need to expose or to sneak. By embroidery work on water-soluble material, Eva Jakovits explores the social and symbolic quality of laces (bonds). The process began with the call of the organizations FIAN (FoodFirst Information & Action Network) and SAL (Solidarity Sweden-America) America for a project parallel to "Foro Latino" (Inspiration Latinamerika) to extend the discussion of the major issues in this event, such as the importance of media and culture in creating images of hunger, needs and poverty. The communication between artists, curator and organizations involved in the realization of this project began earlier this year and the execution of works developed from May until early September. In this process the communication between the artists was limited in order to explore an individual approach to the subject avoiding like this the formation of two separated (regionally) groups. In the end, despite the formal differences, a punctual connection can be seen among all the works.
