The writers collective Qalam was invited by Göteborgs Konsthall to freely interpret the ouevre of Nina Bondeson for her retrospective exhibition “COME IN, SHE SAID – MY ROOM IS AN EYE OF A STORM”. The literary works were exhibited alongside mixed media artworks by the artist, and the collaboration resulted in a ranging variety of text which also were recorded. Below you’ll find the recordings of the two works interpreted.
