WORKS
TEMPORAL SQUARE
2025.
Series of archival pigment print
Each 50 x 50 cm
2 of 14 works shown
A white square is sent from a computer to a television screen and photographed during the transmission.
A faulty connection disrupts the signal. The glitch appears not as surface noise, but as a shift in time.
GLITCH (CAPTURED)
2025–ongoing
Series of archival pigment prints
Each 50 × 50 cm
Selected works from an ongoing series
I started waiting for the computer to stop working. It became a method. With each crash, an involuntary image appeared, something no one had designed. The works are based on digital errors captured with a mobile phone in the brief moment before the screen turned black.
WAVEFUL
2025. UHD video 16:9, 2:46 min. Sound.
Theremin Anna-Lena Jaktlund, Music Erik Carlsson
In Waveful, my hand movements become waves of sound and light. It is a dialogue between body and technology where the technology always has the final word.
Distributed by Filmform, the art film & video archive.
Materials: LED gloves, theremin, drum machine, synthesizer
WATER, REWOUND
2025.
UV print on brushed aluminium, based on DV video stills
Each 80 x 60 cm
Running water was recorded on DV tape, then re-recorded as the tape was rewound. The resulting composition alters the fall of the water.
SYMPHONIE WAVELENGTH
2020. UHD video 16:9, 3:16 min. Sound.
Motion Anna-Lena Jaktlund, Music Erik Carlsson
I was thinking of Viking Eggeling, but let chance conduct. Sound and image search for one another across different wavelengths. Each follows its own logic; where they meet, a temporary harmony emerges.
The moving image was painted with a flashlight.

THE MOON
2008. HD video 16:9, 1:53 min. Sound.
A handheld recording of the full moon draws its distant light across the image plane. Through the movement of the camera, the fixed point dissolves into circles and lines.
Distributed by Filmform, the art film and video archive.
Selected screenings: International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Syros International Film Festival, Zita Folkets Bio, Stockholm, and Västerås Art Museum.
WIND SITUATION (STOCKHOLM COUNTY, MONDAY JUNE 3RD 2013 AT 3 PM)
2013. 5.1-channel sound installation.
Fifty recordings of the VMA warning signal were made simultaneously with mobile phones at different locations across Stockholm County. The recordings are arranged spatially according to the participants’ geographical positions at the time of recording.
By treating the signal as sound material rather than as a message, the work forms a temporary listening space shaped by simultaneity and location.
Produced as part of Artoteket, an art-lending platform.
Materials: 5.1-channel sound, box constructed from matchsticks, booklet, map of the VMA system in Stockholm County, street names, compass and Tyfon warning horn.
COMPOSITION OF IMAGE MACHINE
2012. Four-channel sound installation. 10 min loop.
Sounds recorded from four identical flatbed scanners are assembled into a looped composition and played through a four-channel system. Inside an enclosed room made of blinds and fabric, the mechanical variations of the scanners are presented independently of image production.
Materials: Sound loop, four speakers, blinds and fabric.
“A fusion and reformation of sound forms.” – Om Konst
JUMPBOX
2012. Interactive sound installation.
Each jump on either trampoline triggers a short fragment selected at random from 100 popular songs released between 1960 and 2010. Successive jumps interrupt the playback and continuously reorganise the composition.
The work shifts musical control from listening to bodily action.
Materials: Two trampolines, foam, contact microphones, computer running Pure Data (Pd), four speakers and a poster listing the 100 songs.

THE EARDRUM
2011. DV Pal video 16:9, 6:35 min. Sound.
Percussion sound material: © Erik Carlsson
Carpet beater: Linda Madsen
Sound composition: Anna-Lena Jaktlund
Just as objects sound when you beat on them, the eardrum vibrates when struck by sound waves. Almost as a mat that someone has set in motion. In the musical listening is time a concrete reality and the sound waves become a direct connection between our inner and outer room.
The percussion sounds are drawn from recordings made with percussionist Erik Carlsson, who struck each instrument once, creating a broad sound palette for the work.
The Eardrum has been shown at Galleri Fisk in Bergen Norway, Kristianstadbionalen and parabola Artfilmfest in Stockholm.
