Castings of hands and feet in transparent sugar raise questions about vulnerability, illness, care, and the fragility of human life. The sculptures gradually change over the course of the exhibition, allowing time and transience to become part of the work itself.
Dislocated was first presented in its entirety at SIC in Copenhagen and is now presented at Pannrummet in a new form.
To dislocate means to move something from its expected position: a joint forced out of place, an alignment disrupted. In Dislocated, Tilda Lundbohm presents a body that has been taken apart and rearranged, where new forms of connection emerge through fragmentation.
Hands and feet emerge from curved steel structures, suspended somewhere between movement and stillness. They appear almost functional, yet remain strangely displaced. Cast in isomalt, a transparent sugar-based material traditionally used in confectionery, the fragmented forms initially resemble glass while remaining vulnerable to the passage of time. Surfaces become opaque, edges soften, and fragments slowly dissolve. The installation does not represent transformation; it performs it.
Tilda Lundbohm
Through her work, the artist explores themes of life, death, illness, grief, and trauma. Drawing on her personal experiences of psychiatry, loss, violence, and mortality, Lundbohm uses autobiography as a starting point for broader reflections on vulnerability, memory, and the human condition. She believes that the most personal experiences are also the most universal.
Central to Lundbohm’s practice are questions of memory, time, and transformation. She is particularly interested in altered experiences of time that arise when the body or mind can no longer keep pace with society’s rhythms. Through explorations of autobiographical memory, the non-normative body, and the psyche, she examines how identity is shaped, fragmented, and reconstructed.
