A collaborative exhibition by André Córdova Rudstedt and Ingeborg
Kraft Fermin. Curated by the students of the class 2027 in the International Master's programme in Curating, including Art, Management and Law in collaboration with Flat Octopus.
Vernissage: 20 February, 19:00-22:00
Previously a gentlemen’s club, the basement of Döbelnsgatan 39 has lain dormant
for years, dust collecting in its corners. What remains is a mirrored bathroom, gaping holes in the ceiling, broken speakers, and wallpaper – faded, peeling, and barely clinging to the walls.
Through sound and light, this immersive installation reanimates and reconceptualises the site’s layered history. Pulling from the remaining architectural elements of the space, the artists merge memory with fiction. Echoes collide with the trickling of the plumbing and the hum of cars outside. Shadows emerge and recede along the floors and walls like fragmented ghosts of the past.
Before the space is wiped clean, the artists explore its liminal and in-between nature. The
exhibition invites the visitor to the making of an artificial memory that is so enthralling, it may
just be true.
André Córdova Rudstedt (b. 1991) works with moving images and installation, using AI-based
voice cloning and animation to explore power structures, collective behavior, and societal norms. His practice moves between humor and discomfort, where satire serves as a critical tool to highlight the absurdities of contemporary life.

Ingeborg Kraft Fermin (b. 1993) examines mediated reality through personal narrative, tracing
how desire, memory, and attention are shaped as everyday life is constantly filtered and
documented. Working mainly with video and multimedia installations, she produces works that spark curiosity about the larger systems that inform the contemporary experience of her
generation.
