When you aim far you will get somewhere. We set out in the evening. The harsh weather didn´t stop us, the snowy wind blew in our faces as we moved forward. We were heading north. Like so many explorers before us. Well prepared. Carrying our supply of food, no sledge dogs. Dressed in layers upon...
Carlie: "The cell phone is off. It implies you are more important than a random call, and I wants to be fully present for our day out,"1 Taylor: "Your colleagues have a meeting that concerns you, without inviting you"2 Carlie: "They do all of this patting and clutching of hands that maybe...
If you saw us running (playing tag) without knowing us, would you dare to join? There were som young people who talked about joining but they didn't dare. They made some movement. I was surprised that so many people smiled at us when we were running in between the mass of bodies passing...
We're at the club, dancing. We didn't want to spend money putting away our things in the wardrobe, or it existed no such option. We have valuable stuff with us. Computers, cameras and mobile phones. If we would loose it, we would loose parts of our selves. We make a pile in...
Thank you all who came. Thank you all that will come next time there is a Skälva-party. The release of the blog was a release. Relaxing and flowing. We have really dreamt about this and now it is materializing in front of our eyes and in our bodies, a lot of bodies even. So there...

Small stones in different patterns, larger stones shapes crossing streets we can follow. Trembling. We walk and we run. How to hold this space as our own. We fall into each other. My head rests...
Stureplan. A square in the rich area of Stockholm. Considered rich. With a larger amount of well-dressed people. If you by well-dressed mean similarlooking people in rather expensive clothes and shoes. They know exactly what to wear in formally dress-coded situation and what exact shape of shirt collar to wear this season. It is...
The generation of human is like that of leaves. The wind scatters one year's leaves on the ground, but the forest burgeons and and puts out others, as the season of spring comes round. So it is with humans: one generation grows on, and another is passing away (Homeros?, 700 BC). Looking inside yourself for...

I spend most of my time in a really small space. I live in the dark. It is my natural resting place. Comfortable. Safe. Cosy. I sometimes go out. Rarely on my own. Usually someone pulls me out. I rely on help. Home is a nice place to be. When I go out I...
