Väntar på Revolutionen | Fixed Media | Surround
Väntar på revolutionen (eng. Waiting for the revolution) is a house. It's a house built entirely of sound. As you're woken up in the beginning of the piece you are pulled trough walls, floors and ceilings. Watching silent. Almost hearing the hesitation. Almost hearing each other.
A Leakage, everyone knows. everyone waits.

Originally this is a multichannel surround piece but, this rendering is made for headphones.
REVA | Fixed media | Surround
For some time now the Swedish police have been carrying out an operation called REVA together with the Swedish prison service and migration service. The abbreviation REVA stands for Legal Certainty and Effective Enforcement (Rättssäkerhet och Effektivt Verkställighetsarbete) and seeks to boost the effectiveness of enforcement of deportations. REVA is co-funded by the European Return Fund.
Under this project, which has been running for some time now at the behest of the Swedish Government, ‘right of residence’ checks are carried out along with ticket inspections in the Stockholm underground. These checks have led to a wide-ranging debate in Swedish society and it seems likely that they are based on people’s skin colour and appearance. The Swedish media have reported cancer sufferers without a residence permit who do not dare to take the underground to go to hospital for fear of being caught in one of these checks. The Swedish police claim that the checks are carried out only for justifiable reasons and are not based on a person’s appearance, language or name.

My piece was made in the mids the introduction of REVA. My work is a creation, a narrative and a reaction. protest. Originally made for a 21.4 speaker system it is remixed both for 8- and 4-channel surround and stereo.
The Swedish speech is subtitled in English. It might be good to use headphones when listening.
