Björn Hegardt and Theo Ågren have had an ongoing artistic partnership for more than twenty years, with a common interest in exploring various natural and mythical phenomena. They explore space and the limits of space, often shown through frozen moments in everyday surroundings and things that seem to have a life of their own. A recurring theme has been defying the force of gravity with the help of various tricks, resulting in objects and site-specific installations.
Over the last years, they have pursued an artistic research project called “A Study of Free Fall & Levitation”. Within this research, the artist duo has given form to how levitation and free fall can, or may appear to, occur. The project is also about failing – sit-uations where everything collapses. At SCOTTY the artists will continue to investigate and explore some of the phenomenon connected to those themes, in an installation and in objects.
