Confined spaces make me spiral
Confined spaces make me spiral is a compactible space/time-specific immersive full-room installation made entirely of repurposed materials. It will only ever be shown this one time. Probably.
A closed body enters a room. Anxious, apologetic of its own presence and ready to flee. Always cautious of the exits. Only once it feels safe, it opens up and starts to unfold. Bravely it spreads out, takes form, transforms the room with what it held inside. A burning light, a vivid story told mostly in silence. In the darkness and the unseen, it thrives the most. Noone there to limit it, noone there to praise it. Noone even knows of its presence. This is the safe space for this body. My body. Longing for a world of no no’s, no limits, it tests taking up space in ways where it can just as quickly enfold on itself and disappear back into the nowhere it came from.

Biography
Lior Nønne Malue Hansen, Aarhus 1989, produces tactile representations of themes such as ecology, diversity, politics, psychology, and the concept of being human (whatever that means/implies/excludes) in the form of large-scale sculptures and installations. By utilizing the inborn potential of discarded material, she tries to make sense of a world where function and value seems to be interlocked variables in the same undisclosed equation. Her works have previously been shown at Nässjö Konsthall, Gävle Konstcentrum, Aguelimuseet Sala, Art Lab Gnesta, Marabouparken Stockholm, Kunsthal Århus and Nobel Week Lights.
