JS: Your pieces often use your body as their point of reference. Why your own particular dimensions? JS: The first pieces in these series had you in them (disfigured or in a replica of a jail). Was this a metaphor for the artist? JS: Is all your work about yourself, like a diary?

LARS NILSSON: I think it all began in H\u00e4sselby G\u00e5rd, a suburb of Stockholm where I grew up. As a little boy I was a dreamer and was always \u2018somewhere else\u2019. The ability to fantasize has probably always been one of my greatest assets. At the same time as it hasn\u2019t allowed me any peace \u2013 created by myself, knitted together from literary and cinematic role models. An unforgivable vanity made me move on again and again. Around 1994, I literally began to use my biography in my work, finally acquiring a tool for seeing myself as I was. As a pre-requisite, the blend between fact and fiction seemed somewhat spooky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LN: Around ten years ago it occurred to me how much stronger my experiences of film have been compared to the visual arts. My conclusion wasn\u2019t, however, to switch mediums. Rather, it felt more like a challenge to try to attain that level of intensity using other means. The wax figure\u2019s moment of illusion became a cornerstone, but most of all, my experience of seeing myself haunt the exhibition F\u00f6rdomar<\/em> (Prejudice) in Helsinki \u201993, where I had hung my clothes, which had taken on my shape because I had worn them. This indexical impression had the paradoxical authenticity I was looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
LN: At that time, Damien Hirst had a multitude of glass cases with sliced or whole animals on tour at the time, even though I really appreciated Mother and Child Divided <\/em>visually \u2013the title totally witty \u2013 I experienced the metaphor in combination with the utmost exercise in power as repelling. As a sort of response, I wanted to subject my physical self, without focusing on who I am, therefore the prison metaphor. With reference to Foucaults Discipline and Punishment<\/em>, combined with the Swedish cell replicas quite comfortable manifestation, made the work mainly about the prison as a far-reaching structure for organizing and controlling our bodies at every level in society. And back then I also thought I deserved to do a little time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LN: Here I must quote the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekel\u00f6f: \u201cThat which is the ground in you is also the ground in others\u2026\u201d (\u2026)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":100660,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"98799,71197,71377,71163,77084,98168","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-26687","m3_publication","type-m3_publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
