Place as Matter - Rejmyre, Sweden 2009

The notion of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ place became a mode for working with the town of Rejmyre.
Being trained as an architect I am concerned with place not only in the physical, but also on social, political, and cultural terms. My goal since arrival has been to exercise these terms as way to question fixed identities, are perhaps heighten tensions.
All my projects here were thought of as collaborative works, some informed and made by the community and others as offerings to be interacted with by the community.
