This Spring We Bought the Same Jackets
Lindholm Petra
A person pulls fluff out of a blanket and places it on her sleeping friend, so softly he does not wake. The act expresses both frustration and love – an irritating kind of tenderness. This gesture is repeated on three different parts of the body and is split into a video installation across three monitors in separate rooms.
