黑料不打烊

Bonniers Konsthall is proud to open the fall of 2024 with Frida Orupabo鈥檚 first solo exhibition at a Swedish institution. On Lies, Secrets and Silence takes its starting point in our most private and intimate space鈥攖he home. Through newly produced works in the form of collage, video and sculpture, staged as spatial installations, the exhibition focuses on the complex relationships that are contained within the domestic sphere, central to our everyday lives and in the creation of our identity. Familiar environments and relationships that suddenly, through subtle changes, may transform from safe to strange and uncomfortable. 

In recent years, Frida Orupabo (b. 1986, based in Oslo, Norway) has been recognized internationally as one of the most important artists of our time. In her image-based practice, she works with digital and physical collages, exploring issues of identity, gender, family relations and racism. Her work is based on personal experiences, deeply rooted in collective experiences. Using a distinct collage technique, Orupabo鈥檚 artistic process is rooted in a photomontage tradition where she manipulates, cuts, arranges, inverts and loops images. Powerful as they are, these interventions create imaginative and poignant reworkings of motifs that seek to challenge colonial notions still embedded in many social, economic and political structures.
