Yuvinka Medina, senior curator, in conversation with \u00c5sa Cederqvist.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yuvinka Medina:<\/strong> Your works highlight what is often marginalised or perceived as indefinable. Instead of clarity, you emphasise the value of the uncertain and open. What does this in-between space mean to you, and how do you think it can create new ways of understanding and imagining the future?<\/p>\n

\u00c5sa Cederqvist:<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s right. I often think about how our world is governed by what we consider dirty and clean\u2014both literally and mentally. It\u2019s very binary and rational. At the same time, one\u2019s inner reality isn\u2019t always so certain about one or the other. Usually, it\u2019s both. I often try to create a layered storytelling that reveals how we don\u2019t really see the world in such either-or terms. The undefinable, in its genuine form, is something very hopeful and full of freedom to me. It stands as a counterpoint to the rational, fixed, and definitive. It also mirrors the experience of a creative process and a becoming. In a creative process, you need to allow yourself to take in everything \u2013 not just the beautiful and approachable. And only then, when you\u2019re open to that, you can also deal with it and create something authentic and powerful, that hopefully can be liberating.<\/p>\n
