Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, Alternative Privacy

Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff belongs to the generation of Swedish artists who emerged in the early 1990s, visually inspired by postmodernist art and theory. She represented Sweden at the 48th Venice Biennale in 1999. Several of her early works concern the situation of vulnerable women. The theme of violence has often appeared, as in her well-known work Hey Buster! What Do You Know About Desire? from 1995. This theme is examined in the book's essay by Stefan Sjöström, professor of sociology, whose research shows how the legal system handles sex crimes in different ways. Anna Tellgren, PhD in Art History and curator of photography at Moderna Museet, describes von Hausswolff's artistry based on the works in her in-depth essay. Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff has developed psychoanalytic themes and has also explored sculpture, fabric and installations.
The book contains photographs and objects from her entire career, and in her own text she takes a closer look at a number of works, mainly photographs, in the Moderna Museet collection.
