Astrid Svangren's Weaving Installation at Quartz Studio, Turin
Astrid Svangren, born in Göteborg in 1972, presents a project at Quartz Studio in Turin that explores feminine and ancestral dynamics through a loom installation. The work, developed after a long study of the city, features a loom as an arcane, hieratic being offering a temporal journey. It references Penelope, silenced by her son/master Telemachus, with silence depicted as blood, daily suffering, and a slow self-devouring. The space becomes boundary-less, allowing viewers to enter the project and read it from heart to skin.
