Annika Eriksson
Born 1956 in Sverige, Sweden.
Over the years, Eriksson has produced a large number of works in which the perception of time, structures of power and once acclaimed social visions are called into question. Her work has been shown at a number of important public institutions such as KIOSK, Ghent, 2013; Critical Mass, St Petersburg, 2013; When Attitudes Became Form Become Attitudes, Wattis Institute, San Francisco, 2012; The Trilogy, Kunstlerhaus Stuttgart, 2012; The Shanghai Biennale/City Pavilion Istanbul, 2012; The Best of Times, The Worst of Times; Rebirth and Apocalypse in Contemporary Art, Kiev Biennale, 2012; Wir sind wieder da, DAAD Galerie, Berlin, 2011; A Rehearsal/Fable of the Bees commission for Flat Time House, London 2012 and for NON Stage, Istanbul 2011.
She has been selected to contribute a video work, I am the dog that was always here (loop), to this year’s Istanbul Biennial currently on show at the Galata Greek Primary School.
This video is set in the outskirts of Istanbul, and focuses on moments of transition and marginalised experiences of time, seen through the lens of a street dog. Having been moved by the authorities to peripheral pockets and no man’s lands outside the expanding city, the dogs are continuously moving along lines of gentrification and corporate city making. Through looping and repetition, the video relates this process to an experience of time: exploring the present as a complex gap between past and future, one in which an increasing process of erasure, spurred on by a shrinking public realm, also removes other registers of being and seeing.
