Kenneth Varpe, Kurator

Kenneth Varpe de- and reconstructs personal memories, his own and others to raise questions of how stories are created and maintained, affected or unaffected by others.
A videopiece show the faces of the other artists in the group slowly morphing into eachother, creating an illusion of one person altering features, gender and age. This is accompanied by the soundtrack of each person describing a photograph of themselves,  causing them to shift between being the subject and object.  
In the other piece an old polaroid of the artist as a five-year old boy in his mothers national-costume dress is juxtaposed with his fathers wrench, which is sown into and sealed by the fabric and beeds used in the dress.
