In Aporia we find ourselves within a liminal space. A space where the imagined contains traces of the real, and the documentary is reminiscent of fiction. The origin of the word "aporia" is in ancient Greek meaning literally "without passage". This particular passage (or this journey) can be likened to a quest of finding a way out; to navigate in the dark with no sense of direction. At the same time there seems to be a search for something else, like a meaning or the 'core'. Throughout this journey we move between states of wakefulness and of dreaming. The exposition consists of photographs, moving images, notes from dream journalling, drawings, encyclopedic facts, and also a little fiction. Simultaneous to this journey through time and space and changing of states, an index of cross references is created. This index becomes an auto-biographical lexicon of sorts. The artistic research aims to create a new narrative, emerging from a dissolving reality. An attempt to dissolve the physical world and to enter this new space. Is this new reality less authentic than the actual reality, or could it be even closer to the truth?

Han ger mig en ring.
I fästet sitter en stor, rosa sten.
Jag har aldrig ägt något så vackert.
En behaglig känsla infinner sig när jag försjunker i facetternas oändliga ljusreflektioner och färgskiftningar.
Jag vet att jag borde lämna tillbaka ringen.
Men jag tycker för mycket om den, så jag bestämmer mig för att behålla den.
Inuti ringen finns en inskription. Det ser ut som latin: "Salve et amici."
När jag vaknar slår jag upp orden i en ordbok.
Frasen betyder ingenting.
