I'm working with photographs of Sigmund Freud's apartment and creating their pseudo reconstruction. I'm trying through technique of linocut uncover light from black and white photos taken by documentarist Edmund Engelman in Vienna in 1938. I'm revealing volumes of individual fragments, which light falls on. Exposed light I keep for myself, for some melancholy reasons, and store it in glass jars. It is negative and final linocut represents positive. Atmosphere of pictures from Edmund Engelman's book has a big influence on me as well as Robert Longo's cycle Freud Drawings.

Dagens städer är byggda och formade med en stor ojämnlikhet i hur utrymmet fördelas mellan olika fordon och transportslag. Parkeringar längs med vägar fungerar endast som förråd åt bilar. Gator har blivit transportsträckor utan någon riktig identitet. Hur kan vi återta och omprogrammera en del av dessa parkeringar? Fokus ligger på hur man genom små förändringar på flera olika platser kan ta tillvara på de lokala krafter som finns och samtidigt skapa en levande och dynamisk stad.

Abstract:
The Empty Space project aims to explore the interior and exterior space of an object through the use of Perspex. The solidity of the concrete or minimalist art object and the space that it physically occupies will be challenged by the use of visually ambiguous material. Physically solid yet visually transparent or reflective, perspex challenges our perception of solidity - what is internal and what is external. It is by nature a subversive and ambiguous material. The visual transparency of the material contradicts the physical presence of the object it creates. It creates a play between presen

Abstract:
This thesis re-examines the idea of melancholy through the work of a selection of female artists. I argue that it is due to the neglect of the importance of women and also to the lack of attention paid to visual art that has generated a general obscurity around the term melancholy. In actuality, what has become an abstract idea originally had a physical cause: the initial severance from the mother's body. As result, the melancholic is fixated on a lost ideal -- on the umbilical connection that they once experienced and subsequently spend a lifetime trying to recreate. Following the introductio

This thesis explores this question from different perspectives in theory – political philosophy and spatial theory – and through three participatory spatial practices – architectural, feminist and political democratic. The research questions whether increasingly representative democratic practice is appropriate for diverse and complex modern cities and examines the effects of representation and participation on public space, exploring possibilities for democratisation.

This thesis explores structures of melancholy in five of Kurt Vonnegut's early novels, Player Piano, The Sirens of Titan, Mother Night, Slaughterhouse-Five and Breakfast of Champions.

In particular, the thesis maps how each of the novels comments on human progress through a combination of historical, scientific, cultural, social and political paradigms.

Abstract:
The thesis explores architectural potential and experience in the theatre of Peter Brook (1925-). The importance of his thought, writings and theatrical creation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries reaches far beyond the question of theatre. It prepares a ground for exploring the ethical and poetic dimensions of architecture. Refusing to reduce the role of theatre to making 'pictures,' Brook's theatre strives to offer us ephemeral experience in space and to engage us with the power of individual and communal imagination. What is explored and can be learned from Brook's theatre cannot b

In the proposed method, texture slices are grouped together to form a texture slab.
