| In her new exhibition You Should Have Thought of That Before, Ninna Berger present works, both installations and text, in compositions of layered fragments.
She writes:
- The texts are there to offer context and an additional way to take part in my work. They are minimal, micro stories, flash-fiction fragments, thoughts, edits and distortions, kept as they are, a line or two, from the loop where information is constantly added and never withdrawn. I have been in a process of detoxing, cleansing (body), and renewing thought (mind) – of course failing in this – and making this work at the same time. So I blame myself for the absence of any emotional obsession; I have gotten pickier. But then I am, without exception, independent of any type of event, as a personal zeitgeist – unsatisfied. Reflecting on my work I have put energy into making it non-linear. There should be no beginning, no middle, and no end. |
