記憶裡父親工作時的小丑裝也是馬戲團的帳棚,象徵歡樂的布料花紋卻隱藏著對父親的思念。

Artist

Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri
(Norway, b. 1975)

Departing from typical Norwegian minimalism, Kari Anne Helleberg Bahri explores contemporary societal themes of limitations, expectations, order, and isolation through neutral-coloured textile art. Bahri collects old woven fabrics bearing the shared experiences and sedimentation of time. Using handmade stitching, she explores the details of fibres, utilising natural materials like cotton, linen, and wool as her medium. Through textile art, she liberates the body from constraints, creating unique life stories. Her exhibition will feature several works, including a large collective installation titled "Garment Bags," comprising 80 repurposed garment bags on old hangers. Each piece is manually processed, reinterpreting and reconstructing discarded, flawed, decaying, and imperfect items. This installation prompts viewers to break free from self-imposed circles and reflect objectively on memory and experience.
