[We remain seated till everyone is finished]
Installation with stoneware clay, wood and sound

Anna Zingmark is interested in humankind’s spiritual nature and our search for belonging. By creating interaction in temporary groups, she explores group dynamics, structures and hierarchies. This could be a howling pack of people in the forest, or a collection of objects in the exhibition space. Using sound, voice, sculpture and text as her primary media, she asks questions about the group’s being and non-being, about its potential and danger.

In her installation Vi sitter kvar tills alla är klara [We remain seated till everyone is finished], pots are frozen in motion on their way down a collapsed table. A cacophonous collision is coming, but it hasn’t happened yet. Instead, a conversation is heard between the pots; echoes of actions that have previously been performed on the table. Zingmark draws our attention to sounds from the past, to what is and what is to come. What do we hear?
