inside the circle is a research project that diana butucariu made for konstfack’s research lab programme.
“Malmberget is slowly being consumed by a growing hole in the centre of town, created by the collapsing mine underneath the city. I went there to collect fragments from the abandoned houses inside the fence, and use them to encapsulate my stained-glass pieces. Inside The Circle, Behind The Fence deals with cultural whitewashing in post-industrial society, and power dynamics between centre and periphery in the industrial extraction process. It also raises questions about the building of cultural identity in a degrading environment.” dianabutucariu.com
in september 2019, the piece was shown at the festival Farväl Focus in Malmberget. I contributed a generative music piece weaving together stories of the city with sounds from the surroundings.
