I’m graduating from two years of hard work on the MFA in Artistic Research at Malmø Art Academy.
Press release:

(Re)turning
/a practice of attention

Line Kallmayer attends to the question of how something begins, how something comes into form. Is this even a viable question? (Re)turning to when she first “picked up a camera,” she muses over the role of the “lens” and some old material tucked away under her old bed at her mother’s house.

(Re)turning is a first step into a longer investigation on the concept and mechanics of Attention, approaching a preliminary question from within a series of probes, initiated as part of her work on the MFA program in Artistic Research.

Line Kallmayer uses writing as a tool to reflect on a lens-based practice, which is essentially at the core: engaging with, (re)working narrative structures explored over longer periods of research, attempting to push and exploring the borders of language, of our imagination. With that gesture she tries to approach and make sense of an ever-changing context wherein images and our relationship to images reside –where stories are written and told.
