Klara Waara (Stockholm, Sweden, 1992) presents a video and sculptures carved out of rotten, compressed wood. The objects function as transmitters and receivers, projecting fragmented memories of the future and past on one another. In her video The Middle Station, Waara observes the sculptures she made in her garden. By treating the materials with resilience, the wood has turned clay-like. The surrounding elements of light, weather and living creatures animate the objects, assisting them in communicating messages. By including the sculptures in her presentation, Waara explores their ability to communicate memories within an exhibition space.
