Hanna Hedman (Suède) : sombre univers ! d’ailleurs une de ses expositions s’intitulait « Escape the day » (Galerie Platina, Stockholm, mars 2010) …. mais pas un univers triste, ou macabre, non, sombre parce qu’onirique, sorti du tréfonds des limbes du cerveau, des profondeurs d’un rêve, d’un univers parallèle, d’une résurgence d’un autre monde, d’une autre vie, d’un passé qui ressurgit parfois … les matériaux utilisés participent de cette « noirceur » : métaux oxydés, noircis, grisés ……… et pourtant les photos se veulent « fraiches », « saines » : enfants blonds, personnes habillées de blanc, de face, « simples », juste « là »…… étrange monde !
« Hanna Hedman uses beauty to seize the viewers attention, but behind the attractive facade her jewellery deals with difficult subjects such as human vulnerability and underlying defence mechanisms. Her sculptural pieces, composed by thin layered silver sheets, are both delicate and strong. Equally beautiful as solemn.
In the exhibition we show jewellery from three series. Finding dark matter- is about fear of the dark, deriving from the idea that the universe consist of 95% dark matter. What you tell is not always what you experienced- inspired by the boundaries between truth and fiction. An exploration of imagination, with escapism as a comfort and survival strategy. Enough tears to cry for two- refers to historical mourning jewellery. Grief and fragility made visible, and a comment to a personal tragedy. » (Hnoss Gallery)
