Sara Sjöbäcks exhibition ’Like Me’, runs until the 8th of May. This is her first solo exhibition with the gallery, presenting five new sculptural works. Following her recent solo exhibition ‘Förlåt’, at Sjöbo Konsthall, the exhibition takes its point of departure from the phrase ‘Like Me’ and its dual use and interpretation. ‘Like Me’ is an exploration of heritage and identity, Volvo car parts disassembled and destroyed, carefully put back together again in a process that both questions and celebrates our shared experiences through materiality. For Sara, a scrapyard is a place that holds collective histories and memories, and she carefully sources pieces that she can use to sculpt. Through a process of destruction, the pieces are brutally beaten, hammered and folded, a physical undertaking that is both cathartic and exhausting. This is followed by a series of repairs; pieces are screwed together, varnished and neon lights are added, creating objects that are visually charged and carry a resilient glow. Sara’s methodology uses destruction and repair as both a physical and metaphorical representation of our relationships with others and our surroundings. 📷 @lmexo
