INSTALLATION

Backdrop drop drop


2025
Pigment prints on organic cotton voile, sublimation print on satin silk,  hand printed cretonne, wood structures and sound.
 

During his stay at Stationen as part of the exhibition and residency series TwentyFourSeven, Conny Karlsson Lundgren will draw on his own archive of textiles and printed fabrics from previous works, which have mainly been used as stage sets and backdrops in performances and installations. The exhibition space provides a setting for rearranging these traces of queer life with an attempt to find new correlations through a temporary installation composed of layers upon layers of historical fragments.  
In the space, a soundscape of short fragments of music and voices from the various works is played.

Backdrop drop drop hold materials from (Dissident Dance Actions), 2017, The Teenage Runner, 2018, Pink Banner/Red Faggots, 2019, Status Quo Act I—IV & Dance, 2019,  I Kiss Your Eyes (A Year in Eight Weeks), 2024 and Sunset/Sunrise, 2025.
