(\u2026) Richard: I\u2019d like to mention something about your behaviour that strikes me every time we meet. It\u2019s a kind of emphatic respect you show towards everyone around you. It\u2019s in the way you speak but also in the way you act. For instance, you hold the door open for everyone! I believe this respectful behaviour towards others is also echoed in your art. Does what I\u2019m saying feel like a fair description of you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pipilotti: For me the question of ethics and motivation is of burning interest as I am currently in a phase of upheaval and change. There is a political stance that affects my work, and a personal one. The moment one talks about certain things they can lose their innocence \u2013 like when someone says you are so spontaneous, you are so warm-hearted, or you are so attentive\u2026 For me this is about morality or an ethics of behaviour, something you don\u2019t talk about. It reflects the way you see people. Then there is your political attitude. Somewhere in between all kinds of errors in the system light up. I had to learn that there\u2019s no such thing as the right<\/em> ideology. I\u2019m suspicious of people who lump together morality and their vision of an ideal world into a single, hermetic ideology or a religious hypothesis. Yet at the same time I\u2019m curious about the \u2018new subject\u2019. As for opening doors\u2026 Well, you just met my mother Anna down on the street. She brought us children up to be polite and to look after others. A part of that comes down to the values you adopt as a child. It is important to me that people pay attention to one another and that we take each other seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

These are theoretical ideas that suit who I am, and at the same time I feel as though I lost quite a number of years due to the narrow perspective of left-wing ideology and the fear of divine punishment. I want to hold the door open out of my own free will. At the moment I find all this quite confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard: Do you allow yourself to doubt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pipilotti: People often ask me if my art is feminist. I am a feminist, that\u2019s a point of honour and logical, so long as society\u2019s horizons are not equally accessible for everyone. But there are thousands of other insights that shape my inquiries. Even though I have a positive view of humanity, there is room for ambivalence in my work; accepting this should foster a certain mildness towards oneself. This is what I strive for in my work. When viewers experience my works I hope they will stop being quite so hard on themselves. Maybe this is what you are detecting. Of course, I am not actually where my works are. As a human being I can\u2019t fully achieve the same nonchalance or power that I to some extent explicitly look for or distil in my works. As an individual I am not identical to my works. Sometimes I view myself as neurotic and anxious. But I made a conscious decision not to directly transfer such feelings into my work, even if I don\u2019t deny them either.
