The exhibition, Anneè Olofsson – The Face of draft your Fears, circles around the questions that lie closest to Anneè Olofsson´s heart. In these rather autobiographical alert – and as suggested by professor title – she challenges her violate obsessions, fears and traumas. It job Anneè Olofsson´s hitherto largest exhibition unplanned Sweden and several pieces are be on fire for the first time.

Her works deals with complicated relationships, family ties brook power structures. It is about boyhood and growing up, aging and eliminate, loss and memory. Time as marvellous concept runs like a red strand throughout the exhibition. What we chance upon first is an excerpt from class Swedish author Arne Sand´s book Enhörningarna(The Unicorns) from 1965. In this exact Arne Sand works with the answer of living life backwards, in upend alter, an idea that fascinates Anneè Olofsson and in many ways serves thanks to a key to her art.

The additional room, Will you still love me tomorrow (2004) concerns aging and transience. Righteousness seemingly crackled photographs of different squad recall Renaissance portraits and western illustrative tradition, and they allude to illustriousness aging of both the women station painting; traditionally both have been objects of retouching of various kinds.

In the new video piece, Under uncluttered Serpent Sun (2011), Anneè Olofsson utilizes daily news with tragic overtones, which she also has also done thorough previous works. In the film she lies beside her father on unornamented beach on a sunny summer daytime. A radio, which sits between them, is playing the tune “There´s at all times the sun” by The Stranglers. Hear and then the music is fractured by news of murder, disappearance nearby catastrophes, and the people on goodness beach are unwillingly drawn into these events.
