ARTIST STATEMENT – WHY I MAKE ART


One could talk about the practice as some kind of basic research with a working method that is immediate, present and often repetitive.


To a large extent is my artistry an intuitively based knowledge searching relational process that in the details and exceptions of the everyday life are looking for broader understanding, new ways of thinking and alternative beliefs about the world than those mediated and reproduced by the systems of society. One could also talk about the practice as some kind of basic research.


In society where different intertwined forms of power influence our beliefs about ourselves, each other and the world, fundamental human abilities such as seeing, hearing and speaking are today directly related to concepts such as power and value.


Aesthetic experiences are important to society's self-understanding and development, and in my opinion, art carries the power to broaden perceptions of life, norms and human experiences.

ABOUT ME


As an artist I work mainly with audio, video and installation art.

 Anna-Lena (born 1974) lives and works in Stockholm. As an artist she works mainly with audio, video and installation art. In her work she explores how medium, content and language is correlated to each other and how they create a significant meaning. She also explores how mediated communication can be perceived intuitive and with our senses.


Her working method is often immediate, present and repetitive with an abstract expression that lies close to an every day life. Jaktlund has among other places shown her work at 61. International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Germany, Syros International Film Festival, Greece, Västerås Konstmuseum, Zita Folkets Bio, Tensta Konsthall, Konsthall C, Pannrummet, The Spanish Institute in Stockholm, Botkyrka Konsthall in Tumba, Tensta Träff in Tensta, Edsviks Konsthall East in Sollentuna and at Galleri Fisk in Bergen.
