FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS
26 – 31/07/16
For All The Wrong Reasons is an experimental and playful approach to the massively used & abused and also adored pop-culture-topic; Love Being a Loosing Game . Experimenting with various media such as readymades, photography, light and sound, Sofia Wickman works with space and narratives creating three different installations in the facilities of the gallery with the attempt to visualize experiences and state of mind.
